Total: the Coalition for the Energy of the Future Unveils Its First Seven
Concrete Actions and Welcomes Three New Members


 * 7 projects already being developed with first milestones to be reached as
early as 2021

 * Airbus, Bureau Veritas and PSA International join the coalition

 * 14 members committed to accelerating the energy transition in transport and
logistics

 

Total (Paris:FP) (LSE:TTA) (NYSE:TOT):

Launched in late 2019, the Coalition for the Energy of the Future aims at
accelerating the development of future energies and technologies to sustain
new green mobility models and reduce the impact of transport and logistics on
climate change. The Coalition is pleased to announce the first milestones to
be reached in 2021.

2021: A year of milestones with the development of the Coalition’s first 7
projects

2021 will be a structuring year for the Coalition and its cross-industry
working groups with 7 projects to be developed:


 1. Green hydrogen: capitalize on Carrefour projects Cathyope and H2Haul to
experiment for the first time in Europe hydrogen-powered fuel cell long
distance zero-emission trucks and propose a consolidated order book for
goods’ transportation on French and European roads by end of the first
semester in order to accelerate hydrogen availability,

 2. Biofuel: propose and test the first bio-crude oil dedicated to maritime needs
to increase the use of Biofuel along the supply chain and develop the use of
3(rd) generation biofuels,

 3. Carbon neutral liquefied natural gas (LNG): draw a pathway for bioLNG toward
carbon neutrality, highlighting key issues to be addressed,

 4. Green electricity: identify & convert along the global supply chain the
key elements (depots, terminals & warehouses…) into green self-sustained
entities to accelerate the electric conversion in the transport chain,

 5. Zero emission vehicles for road, air and sea transportation: share by the end
of the first quarter of 2021 a common vision and roadmap to develop nnovative
R&Dprojects around new energies such as Hydrogen or Ammonia,

 6. Digital ecocalculator of the global transport chain: develop a digital
eco-calculator certifying door-to-door CO2 impact on any given transportation
routing as well as proposing low-emission alternatives,

 7. Intermodal green hubs: propose a business plan to sustain port conversion into
new green multimodal hubs using lower-impact routing with greener energy by
end of 2021.

The 14 companies will continue to work closely together over the coming months
to develop new concrete projects going further in the fight against climate
change.

Airbus, Bureau Veritas and PSA International join the Coalition for the Energy
of the Future

2021 also marks the entry into the Coalition of three global companies
recognized worldwide for their involvement into the emergence of technological
innovations:


 * Airbus, an international reference in the aerospace sector and a pioneer of
sustainable aviation

 * Bureau Veritas, a world leader in testing, inspection and certification,

 * PSA International, a leading global port group and trusted partner to cargo
stakeholders.

They join AWS, Carrefour, CMA CGM Group, Cluster Maritime Français, Crédit
Agricole CIB, ENGIE, Faurecia, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Total and
Wärtsilä in the Coalition.

Together, they will bring the Coalition additional resources and talents to
take up the challenge of tomorrow’s sustainable transport and logistics.

“Airbus has a leading role to play in the ambition for sustainable aviation,
says Jean-Brice Dumont, Executive Vice President Engineering, Airbus. "We are
convinced of the benefits that joint initiatives can bring in finding
innovative solutions to reduce the C02 emissions of our industry -- because we
know this challenge requires a collective effort. We believe this coalition
will foster the development of creative projects with effective results that
will pioneer new mobility models across the sector.”

According to Matthieu de Tugny, President of Bureau Veritas Marine and
Offshore, “Innovative projects and joint development programs will be
certainly vital to make sure we are ready for the future. The different
stakeholders and experience of this Coalition certainly brings real power
across the shipping sector & supply chains to develop the innovative
solutions we need. It is a collective approach and all our efforts definitely
need to be connected to sustain new green transportation models.”

Mr TAN Chong Meng CEO, PSA International, declares: “PSA is proud to be a
part of the Coalition, which is in line with our mission to enable greener
logistics choices for all by working with like-minded partners. We are excited
to support the development of future energies and technologies, and to do our
part to collectively create a more sustainable future for transport and
trade.”

With these additional members, the Coalition continues to rally major industry
leaders from different sectors and pursues its ambition to accelerate the
development of energies and technologies sustaining new, lower-carbon models
to reach carbon-neutral objectives in transport and logistics.

An international coalition with a clear pathway towards carbon neutrality

Launched in late 2019 during the French Maritime Economy Conference (Assises
de l’Economie de la Mer), and supported by French President Emmanuel Macron,
the Coalition for the Energy of the Future aims at accelerating the
development of future energies and technologies to sustain new green mobility
models to reduce the climate impact of transport and logistics.

To achieve genuine technological breakthroughs with tangible results by 2030,
the Coalition’s three main goals are:


 * To unlock a more extensive portfolio of clean energy sources;

 * To decrease the energy consumption per kilometer-equivalent of goods mobility;

 * To reduce the proportion of emissions linked to transport and logistics.
