Reducing Emissions

Reducing our own emissions by transforming our energy consumption and management habits is the first step towards carbon neutrality. Globally, this means focusing on our operational excellence, an increasingly strong climate strategy, and better energy use.

We have set ourselves a goal of reducing our emissions by 1% per year at our operated industrial sites. And because our refining and chemical facilities account for 66% of our energy consumption, we have launched a major investment program to improve their energy performance.

TotalEnergies is committed to end routine flaring by 2030 at our operated facilities. A CO2 emission indicator is present at the entrance of each of our operated facilities.

Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage

Transitioning to a net zero world with carbon capture, utilization and storage

TotalEnergies is committed to tackling the global challenge of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Delivering carbon neutrality will require more than just reducing our current and future emissions. Though renewables will undoubtedly play a crucial role, carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) is required to transition to a net zero world.

CCUS has the potential to both reduce industrial emissions, but also remove CO from the atmosphere. CCUS is the whole value chain process from capturing carbon dioxide to the final recycling in carbon-containing products or the safe and permanent storage in geological reservoirs.
