Working in renewables
As part of its ambition of carbon neutrality by 2050, together with society, the Company is building a world class cost-competitive portfolio combining renewable (solar, onshore wind, offshore wind) and flexible assets (CCGT, storage) to deliver low-carbon electricity available 24/7.
In 2024, net electricity production reached 41 TWh, up 23% over the year, helping to reduce the average intensity of all the energy products sold by the Company to its customers (-16.5% compared with 2015, again ahead of our trajectory). We plan to produce more than 50 TWh of electricity by 2025, i.e. 10% of our production of hydrocarbon, on the way to reaching 20% by 2030.

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 levers identified by the Company is to use green or low carbon hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries, a move that should help reduce its CO2 emissions by around five million tons a year by 2030. Aiming to fully decarbonize the hydrogen used in its European refineries, the Company launched in September 2023, a call for tenders for the supply of 500,000 tons per year of green hydrogen.
TotalEnergies and Sustainable Aviation Fuels
TotalEnergies is developing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). These are biofuels produced from waste and residues from the circular economy (animal fats, used cooking oils, etc.) and "e-jets", synthetic fuels for aviation. These sustainable aviation fuels will significantly reduce CO2emissions from air transport.
