TotalEnergies Launches Tender for Green Hydrogen Supply to Decarbonize European Refineries
Key Ideas
- TotalEnergies seeks 500,000 tonnes/year of green hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries.
- The initiative aims to cut ~5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually by 2030.
- Switching to green hydrogen will help achieve a 40% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 for TotalEnergies refineries.
TotalEnergies has initiated a call for tenders to procure 500,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen for its European refineries. The company anticipates that this switch will lead to preventing approximately 5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually from its European refineries by the year 2030. Currently running six refineries in Europe, all of which utilize hydrogen, TotalEnergies sees this transition to green hydrogen consumption as a significant stride towards its goal of decreasing Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 40% come 2030 compared to levels from 2015.
