TotalEnergies Joins Forces with Air Liquide to Decarbonize its Refineries in Northern Europe with Green Hydrogen

- 45,000 tons per year of green H2 produced by the OranjeWind
offshore wind farm developed by TotalEnergies (50%).
- 450,000 tons per year reduction of CO2 emissions from
TotalEnergies’ Anvers and Zeeland refineries.
- An electrolyzer jointly developed in the Netherlands with
Air Liquide to supply the Zeeland refinery.
- A tolling agreement on a second electrolyzer built and
operated in partnership with Air Liquide to supply Antwerp
platform.
In line with its 2030 ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen used
in its European refineries, TotalEnergies has signed agreements
with Air Liquide to develop two projects in the Netherlands, for
the production and delivery of some 45,000 tons a year of
green hydrogen produced using renewable power, generated mostly by
the OranjeWind offshore wind farm, developed by TotalEnergies (50%)
and RWE (50%). These projects will cut CO2 emissions from
TotalEnergies’ refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands by up
to 450,000 tons a year and contribute to the European renewable
energy targets in transport.
Green hydrogen production by TotalEnergies and Air
Liquide
The two companies have signed an agreement to set up a joint
venture, equally held by TotalEnergies (50%) and Air Liquide (50%),
which will build and operate a 250 MW electrolyzer near the Zeeland
refinery. This project will enable the production of up to
30,000 tons of green hydrogen a year, most of which will be
delivered to Zeeland’s platform. The electrolyzer will be
commissioned in 2029 and will cut the site’s CO2 emissions by up to
300,000 tons a year. This project represents a global
investment of around €600 million for both partners and has
made requests for support under European and national subsidy
programs. Project funding will also be sought by the partners.
Supplying TotalEnergies’ Antwerp platform with green
hydrogen
In addition, as part of Air Liquide's 200 MW ELYgator
electrolyzer project located in Maasvlakte (Netherlands),
TotalEnergies has signed a tolling agreement for 130 MW to be
dedicated to the production of 15,000 tons per year of green
hydrogen for the TotalEnergies platform in Antwerp. Under this
agreement, TotalEnergies will supply the renewable electrons
produced by the OranjeWind project to Air Liquide to be transformed
into green hydrogen. The project is expected to be operational by
the end of 2027 and will reduce CO2 emissions at the Antwerp site
by up to 150,000 tons per year.
“Following the first partnership agreement with Air Liquide to
supply the Normandy refinery with green hydrogen, and the
agreements to supply the Grandpuits and La Mède biorefineries with
renewable hydrogen, the partnership with Air Liquide takes on a new
dimension and marks a new step in TotalEnergies' ambition to
decarbonize the hydrogen consumed by its refineries in Europe by
2030”, said Vincent Stoquart, President, Refining &
Chemicals at TotalEnergies. “By supplying these two
electrolyzers with renewable electricity from our offshore wind
project in the Netherlands, TotalEnergies is leveraging its
positioning as an integrated electricity company.”
“Flagship projects such as the ones we are announcing today,
will play a key role in reducing emissions, particularly in
hard-to-abate sectors such as industry and heavy mobility. We are
proud to lead the way on European renewable and low-carbon hydrogen
production, and to accompany TotalEnergies in their journey to
decarbonizing their industrial assets. These two projects will
complete the five Air Liquide low carbon units already in operation
or construction in Europe. This illustrates our capacity to offer
concrete solutions to our customers, to reach our carbon neutrality
ambition by 2050, and to support Europe’s leadership ambition
towards decarbonized growth. It also demonstrates the ability of
Air Liquide to develop solid business models in the energy field of
low carbon hydrogen”, said Emilie Mouren-Renouard, member of the
Air Liquide Executive Committee, in charge of Europe
operations.
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 pathways identified by the Company is using low-carbon hydrogen
to decarbonize its European refineries, a move that should help
reduce its annual CO2 emissions by around three million tons by
2030. In order to fully decarbonize the hydrogen used in its
European refineries, TotalEnergies has already contracted over
170,000 tons of green hydrogen annually at: La Mède,
Grandpuits and Normandy in France, Leuna in Germany and its
refineries in Belgium and the Netherlands.
