- TotalEnergies is collaborating with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at its La Mède platform in France to support its 2030 decarbonization goals.
- The new project complements the existing Masshylia initiative aimed at producing green hydrogen by electrolysis in partnership with ENGIE.
- Together, these projects are projected to reduce CO2 emissions at the La Mède biorefinery by 130,000 tons annually.
- Air Liquide will construct and manage a renewable hydrogen production unit with an annual output capacity of 25,000 tons, utilizing coproducts from the biorefinery.
- The produced hydrogen will be used for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production at the biorefinery.
- The investment for this renewable hydrogen project totals €150 million, with production expected to commence in 2028.
- Vincent Stoquart, President of Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies, emphasized that this initiative enhances the decarbonization of the La Mède platform.
- The Masshylia project aims for an annual green hydrogen production capacity of 10,000 tons through water electrolysis, with an anticipated 20 MW electrolyser operational by 2029.
- TotalEnergies is committed to minimizing its carbon footprint across its energy production, conversion, and supply operations.
- The company aims to leverage low-carbon hydrogen to achieve a reduction of approximately three million tons of CO2 emissions per year by 2030.
TotalEnergies Accelerates Decarbonization of its Platform at La Mède
11/25/2024
Download the Press ReleaseParis, November 25, 2024 – In line with its 2030 ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen used in its European refineries, TotalEnergies has joined forces with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at La Mède in southeast France. This new project complements the Masshylia project to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis led by TotalEnergies in partnership with ENGIE. These projects will reduce the La Mède biorefinery’s CO2 annual emissions by 130,000 tons.
Renewable hydrogen for biofuels production, with Air Liquide
Air Liquide is going to build and operate a renewable hydrogen production unit at the La Mède platform. With an annual capacity of 25,000 tons, this unit will recycle coproducts from the TotalEnergies biorefinery. The hydrogen will then be used in the biorefinery to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The project’s total investment amounts to € 150 million for TotalEnergies and Air Liquide. The new unit is expected to start production in 2028.
“This new renewable hydrogen production project, carried out with Air Liquide, allows us to accelerate the decarbonization of our La Mède platform. Almost ten years after the announcement of its conversion, La Mède is continuing its transformation and is becoming a low-carbon hydrogen production center, thus contributing to the decarbonization ambition of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur region.”, said Vincent Stoquart, President, Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies.
At the same time, TotalEnergies is continuing the development, with its partner ENGIE, of the Masshylia project of green hydrogen production by water electrolysis with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year, to contribute to the decarbonization of both the biorefinery and local customers at the Fos-Berre industrial-port zone. The two partners are aiming to start up the first 20 MW electrolyser in 2029, subject to confirmation of European and French subsidies and the necessary public authorizations.
TotalEnergies and the decarbonization of its European refineries
TotalEnergies is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of producing, converting and supplying energy to its customers. One of the paths identified by the Company is to use low-carbon hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries, a move that should help reduce its CO2 emissions by around three million tons a year by 2030.
