Leading the Way to Decarbonization: Air Liquide and TotalEnergies Collaboration in France
Key Ideas
  • Air Liquide and TotalEnergies are partnering for a renewable hydrogen production project in La Mède, France, to decarbonize the biorefinery and reduce CO2 emissions significantly.
  • The project involves building a new hydrogen production unit with a capacity of 25,000 tonnes per year, utilizing recycled biogenic by-products instead of fossil fuels, with an investment of over 80 million euros.
  • Operational by 2028, the project aligns with Air Liquide's commitment to decarbonization, offering a wide range of decarbonization solutions and contributing to the energy transition towards low-carbon mobility.
  • Air Liquide's strategic positioning in the Fos-sur-Mer area will strengthen its hydrogen network production sources and support TotalEnergies in achieving sustainable goals, highlighting its role in implementing hydrogen projects for industrial decarbonization.
Air Liquide has announced a significant partnership with TotalEnergies for a renewable hydrogen production project in La Mède, France. The project aims to address the decarbonization of TotalEnergie's biorefinery by utilizing renewable hydrogen from biogenic by-products, hence reducing CO2 emissions by around 130,000 tonnes per year. The new hydrogen production unit, with a capacity of 25,000 tonnes per year, will be operational by 2028 and represents an investment of over 80 million euros. This initiative is part of Air Liquide's strategy to offer decarbonization solutions, including renewable hydrogen, to meet the challenges of the climate emergency. Air Liquide's commitment to supporting TotalEnergies in achieving sustainability goals is evident through this partnership, which strengthens the renewable hydrogen ecosystem in the Fos-sur-Mer area. By utilizing recycled biogenic by-products for hydrogen production, the project aligns with Air Liquide's focus on technological expertise and innovation in decarbonizing industries and promoting low-carbon mobility. The collaboration highlights the companies' shared vision for a more sustainable future and adds to Air Liquide's efforts in offering a wide range of decarbonization solutions to its customers. The project not only illustrates Air Liquide's strategic positioning in the region but also emphasizes its role as a major player in implementing hydrogen projects for industrial decarbonization. With a focus on advancing the energy transition and contributing to climate goals, Air Liquide is actively working towards a more sustainable and decarbonized future through projects like the La Mède renewable hydrogen production unit.
