TotalEnergies has partnered with German renewable developer RWE to acquire a 50% stake in the OranjeWind offshore wind farm, a 795 MW project in the North Sea near the Dutch coast. This initiative aims to utilize renewable electricity from the wind farm to power electrolysers producing green hydrogen for TotalEnergies' refineries, reducing CO2 emissions by approximately 5 million tonnes per year by 2030. The project will feature advanced technologies such as offshore floating solar and lithium-ion batteries, enhancing its sustainability. Furthermore, TotalEnergies' collaboration with Air Products for green hydrogen supply and bp's green hydrogen project demonstrate the industry's shift towards cleaner energy solutions. In parallel, TotalEnergies' investment in the Ruwais LNG project in Abu Dhabi signifies its engagement in diverse energy ventures. These developments collectively reflect a positive momentum towards decarbonization and the adoption of green technologies in the energy sector.
