Total Partners with Siemens Energy to Reduce LNG Related Emissions
TOTAL (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT):
Total and Siemens Energy signed a Technical Collaboration Agreement to study
sustainable solutions for CO(2) emissions reduction. The collaboration will
focus on natural gas liquefaction facilities and associated power generation.
Each partner will bring together their best-in-class technologies and combine
their know-how to deliver industrial-stage solutions such as combustion of
clean hydrogen in gas turbines, competitive all-electrical liquefaction,
optimized power generation, the integration of renewable energy in
liquefaction plants’ power system and their efficiency enhancement.
“This collaboration with Siemens Energy, a major player in the energy
technology sector, brings many opportunities to further reduce the carbon
footprint of our activities, especially in our strategic LNG business,” said
Arnaud Breuillac, President Exploration & Production at Total. “The
development of low-carbon LNG will contribute to meet the growth in global
energy demand whilst reducing the carbon intensity of the energy products
consumed. Reducing its carbon footprint is essential for LNG to play its role
fully in the energy transition.”
“We are pleased to partner with Total as one of the main players in the LNG
value chain to explore how we can competitively reduce the carbon footprint of
brownfield and greenfield LNG projects,” said Thorbjörn Fors, Executive
Vice President of the Industrial Applications Division at Siemens Energy.
“The agreement is a next step, following our announcement last June to
collaborate together and conduct studies exploring possible liquefaction and
power generation plant designs to help decarbonize the production of LNG.”
