TotalEnergies Partners with Air Liquide to Produce Green Hydrogen for Refineries in the Netherlands and Belgium
Key Ideas
- TotalEnergies and Air Liquide sign agreements to produce 45,000 tons per year of green hydrogen, reducing CO2 emissions by 450,000 tons annually in refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands.
- A joint venture with a 250 MW electrolyzer near the Zeeland refinery will produce 30,000 tons of green hydrogen a year, cutting CO2 emissions by up to 300,000 tons annually.
- TotalEnergies will receive 15,000 tons per year of green hydrogen for its Antwerp platform through a tolling agreement with Air Liquide's ELYgator electrolyzer project, reducing CO2 emissions by 150,000 tons per year.
- TotalEnergies aims to decarbonize its European refineries, with over 170,000 tons of green hydrogen annually contracted in various locations, contributing to a reduction of around three million tons of CO2 emissions by 2030.
TotalEnergies, in collaboration with Air Liquide, is embarking on projects to produce green hydrogen for its European refineries. One of these projects includes the development of an offshore wind farm, the OranjeWind, which will supply renewable power for the production of 45,000 tons per year of green hydrogen. This initiative will lead to a significant reduction of 450,000 tons per year of CO2 emissions from TotalEnergies’ Anvers and Zeeland refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands. Additionally, a joint venture between TotalEnergies and Air Liquide will see the construction of a 250 MW electrolyzer near the Zeeland refinery, producing up to 30,000 tons of green hydrogen annually and cutting emissions by 300,000 tons per year. Another agreement involves TotalEnergies receiving 15,000 tons of green hydrogen per year for its Antwerp platform through a tolling agreement with Air Liquide's ELYgator electrolyzer project. These efforts align with TotalEnergies' commitment to decarbonize its European refineries by utilizing low-carbon hydrogen, with over 170,000 tons of green hydrogen already contracted annually across various regions. The company aims to reduce its CO2 emissions by approximately three million tons by 2030 through these initiatives.
