Regulatory News:
As part of its ambition to aim for near-zero methane emissions
by 2030, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces
that the Company is going a step further in the monitoring and
reduction of its methane emissions with the deployment of
continuous, real-time detection equipment at all of its operated
Upstream sites.
Setting a new standard in monitoring of methane
emissions
Since 2022, TotalEnergies has been pursuing its ambition to aim
for near-zero methane operated emissions in 2030: the Company will
meet as soon as 2024 its target to reduce emissions by 50% compared
to 2020, a year ahead of plan. TotalEnergies is thus well on track
to achieve the targeted 80% reduction by 2030. This achievement is
the result of numerous initiatives, including the successful
deployment of its AUSEA1 drone campaigns.
Complementing its portfolio of detection technologies already in
place, TotalEnergies is going a step further by installing
continuous detection equipment on all its operated Upstream assets,
enabling real-time identification of methane emissions, both
fugitive and stationary, and immediate corrective actions to stop
them.
This continuous detection plan will be fully implemented by
end-2025 and will use existing and proven technologies such as loT2
sensors, InfraRed cameras, flowmeters and Predictive Emissions
Monitoring Systems on combustion sources.
Continuous, real-time detection on this scale - both for
existing facilities and projects under development, such as the
GranMorgu FPSO in Suriname – is a pioneering move in the industry
and sets a new standard for the Company.
“Slashing down methane emissions is a short-term priority to
contribute to the fight against climate change. Continuous,
real-time detection will enable our operators to act in an even
more decisive manner in order to reduce our methane emissions and
to repair leaks to achieve our near-zero methane emissions
ambition. As a champion of the Oil & Gas Decarbonization
Charter (OGDC), I am proud that TotalEnergies is leading the way in
deploying such equipment at large scale and we will continue to
work with the industry to share best practices in measuring and
fighting methane emissions,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and
CEO of TotalEnergies.
