French energy company TotalEnergies and German power producer RWE have entered into an agreement to supply 30,000 tons of green hydrogen per year to the Leuna refinery in 2030. This initiative is a part of TotalEnergies' pledge to decarbonize the hydrogen used in its European refineries. The green hydrogen will be generated by a 300 MW electrolyzer to be constructed and operated by RWE in Lingen, Germany. Through a 600 km pipeline, the hydrogen will be delivered to the Leuna refinery, resulting in the prevention of 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions. TotalEnergies plans to substitute 500,000 tons of its annual hydrogen consumption with green hydrogen by 2030, which could lead to a reduction of around 5 million tons of CO2 emissions each year. The company has been actively pursuing partnerships in the green energy sector, such as the recent collaboration with Air Liquide for green hydrogen production. Additionally, TotalEnergies acquired a 50% stake in the OranjeWind offshore wind farm to support the production of green hydrogen through electrolyzer projects. The CEOs of TotalEnergies and RWE expressed enthusiasm for this long-term partnership, emphasizing the positive impact of green hydrogen in reducing carbon emissions and advancing sustainable practices.
