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 CO2 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.
TotalEnergies has implemented CCUS initiatives that help to address this global challenge. The initial focus for CCUS is to retrofit existing fossil-fuel based power and industrial plants. In the longer term, CCUS will shift to removing carbon out of the atmosphere with technologies such as direct air capture and storage (DACS) and bioenergy with CCS (BECCS). TotalEnergies’ activities in CCUS span the entire value chain process.
The best solutions are developed with the support of our partners. With a collaborative approach to CCUS, TotalEnergies works with best-in-class partners from around the world. In North America, TotalEnergies has a variety of activities with start-ups, academic and industrial partners. All the North American partners are managed and coordinated out of the Houston Research Center by a dedicated team.
