United States: TotalEnergies and Clean Energy Launch the Construction of their
First Biogas Unit

 

Through their joint venture, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE)
and its U.S. partner Clean Energy are launching the construction of their
first biomethane production unit, in Friona, Texas. The biomethane will be
used as an alternative fuel for mobility, thus contributing to decarbonize
road transportation.

Located on the Del Rio Dairy farm, the facility will be fueled by the onsite
supply of livestock manure to produce more than 40 GWh of biomethane per year.
The biomethane will be distributed in the United States by Clean Energy
through its network of fueling stations, enabling the supply of renewable gas
to between 200 and 300 trucks per year.

By processing cow manure, a significant source of methane emissions, and
substituting fossil fuels with renewable energies, the project will avoid some
45,000 tonnes of CO(2)e emissions per year(1).

“We are pleased to consolidate our entry into the U.S. biomethane market by
jointly developing this first production unit on the Del Rio Dairy farm,
through our joint venture with Clean Energy,” said Laurent Wolffsheim,
Senior Vice President Green Gases & Growth at TotalEnergies. “This
project marks another step in TotalEnergies' transformation into a
multi-energy company, and in the implementation of its ambition to be a major
player in renewables.”

“This project at Del Rio Dairy helps to address the increasing demand for
RNG by fleets and is a great example of our partnership with TotalEnergies,
one of the world’s leading and most sustainably-minded energy companies,”
said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO, Clean Energy, “RNG, one of the
cleanest fuels on the planet, manages greenhouse gas emissions and tackles
global warming. The added RNG production from Del Rio will help us meet our
target to provide this 100% negative carbon emissions fuel at all of our North
American stations by 2025.”

Through the acquisition of an interest in Clean Energy in May 2018,
TotalEnergies became the largest shareholder of the U.S. leader in natural gas
vehicle fuels, with a stake of some 19% today. In March 2021, the two partners
set up a 50/50 joint venture to speed up the development of biomethane
production in the United States.

TotalEnergies and Biomethane

Biomethane is a renewable gas that has a key role to play in the energy
transition. TotalEnergies is the segment leader in France, with close to 500
GWh of production capacity, and aims to become a major player in biomethane
internationally by partnering with market leaders in other geographies, such
as Clean Energy in the United States and Adani in India. The Company is active
across the entire biomethane value chain, from project development to
marketing of biomethane and its by-products (biofertilizers, bioCO(2)). It
aims to produce 2 TWh of biomethane per year by 2025 – equivalent to the
average annual consumption of 670,000 U.S. consumers, and a reduction in CO(2)
emissions of 400,000 tonnes.

About Clean Energy

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. is the north American largest provider of the
cleanest fuel for the transportation market. Our mission is to decarbonize
transportation through the development and delivery of renewable natural gas
(RNG), a sustainable fuel derived from organic waste. Clean Energy allows
thousands of vehicles, from airport shuttles to city buses to waste and
heavy-duty trucks, to reduce their amount of climate-harming greenhouse gas.
We operate a vast network of fueling stations across the U.S. and Canada.
