In a significant move to enhance clean hydrogen production and reduce carbon emissions, TotalEnergies and Air Liquide have joined forces to establish a renewable energy-powered hydrogen production facility at TotalEnergies SE's La Mède biorefinery in southeast France. Expected to be operational by 2028, the new hydrogen unit will contribute 25,000 metric tons a year to the site's clean hydrogen production, ultimately reducing the biorefinery's CO2 emissions by 130,000 tons annually. The collaboration, valued at EUR 150 million, will see Air Liquide constructing and operating the hydrogen unit that will recycle coproducts from the refinery to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel. TotalEnergies' strategic focus on low-carbon hydrogen aims to cut CO2 emissions from its European refineries by about three million tons per year by 2030. This initiative aligns with TotalEnergies' commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and utilizing innovative solutions for energy production and distribution. Furthermore, the partnership with Air Liquide represents a milestone in TotalEnergies' journey towards decarbonization, with additional projects in place to upgrade facilities, expand renewable fuel production, and leverage green hydrogen technology.
