TotalEnergies擴大全球液化天然氣加油站覆蓋範圍

 

2024年10月10日,TotalEnergies與西班牙船東Ibaizabal簽署了一份關於一艘新的液化天然氣(LNG)加油船的租約合同,該船舶容積爲18,600立方米。3 這艘新船預計將擴大公司在全球供應站的全球貨幣版塊中的存在。特別是,這艘額外的船可能會被部署在阿曼,該公司正在該地開發Marsa液化天然氣項目,旨在爲海灣地區的航運板塊提供液化天然氣。

 

這艘由Ibaizabal公司擁有的船隻,預計將爲TotalEnergies的LNG供應廣泛區間的船隻(集裝箱船、油輪、大型遊輪、渡輪),並滿足最高的技術和環保母基標準。

 

液化天然氣作爲船舶燃料使用,是一種可立即轉換的過渡燃料,在減少航運板塊溫室氣體(GHG)排放方面約能減少20%。 它還通過減少氮氧化物(NOx)排放高達85%,並幾乎完全消除(99%)硫氧化物(SOx)和細顆粒物。當船舶停泊時,這些益處尤爲顯著,有助於改善沿海地區港口城市和社區的生活質量。

 

這個 目前由中國湖東中華船舶建造的新船,預計將於 2026 年底前交貨 並加入 TotalEnergies 目前由三艘部署的液化天然氣密封船艦組成的艦隊: 氣體敏捷性,已定位於 鹿特丹港, 氣體活力,在馬賽港運營和 布拉薩沃拉 位於港口 新加坡。

 

LNG在航運業的能源轉型中所扮演的角色

 

液化天然氣作為船舶燃料,相較於傳統船舶燃料減少了大約20%的溫室氣體排放,若使用生物天然氣或合成燃氣,則進一步降低排放潛力更高。因此,船舶液化天然氣是在航運板塊中減少排放的可持續、可負擔且即時可用的方法。TotalEnergies積極投資液化天然氣加油基礎設施,這對支持其航運客戶採用液化天然氣作為船舶燃料至關重要。

 

TotalEnergies,全球第三大液化天然氣生產商

 

TotalEnergies是全球第三大天然氣遊戲玩家,多虧其對所有地理位置的液化廠的興趣,截至2023年,其全球組合達到44 Mt/y。該公司受惠於其在整個天然氣價值鏈上的一體化位置,包括生產、交通、歐洲逾20 Mt/y的再氣化能力、交易和LNG加油。TotalEnergies的抱負是到2030年將天然氣在其銷售組合中的份額提高至接近50%,以減少碳排放並消除與天然氣價值鏈相關的甲烷排放,並與當地合作夥伴合作,促進從煤炭向天然氣的轉變。

 

實現法國行業板塊脫碳:TotalEnergies與聖戈本簽署可再生電力供應協議

 

On October 8, 2024, TotalEnergies signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Saint-Gobain, under which TotalEnergies is expected to supply renewable electricity to Saint-Gobain’s French facilities. It will take effect from January 2026 for a total volume of 875 GWh over a period of five years.

 

TotalEnergies is expected to provide Saint-Gobain with a baseload supply of electricity and guarantees of origin for that amount of power, produced by TotalEnergies’ wind and solar plants in the northeast and south of France, and the Loire Valley.

 

The contract for renewable electricity between the two companies adds to a previous agreement, signed in June 2023, for the sale to Saint-Gobain of biomethane produced by TotalEnergies at its BioBéarn site.

 

 

 

  

Tailored solutions for the specific needs of our customers worldwide

 

The PPA with Saint-Gobain follows similar contracts signed with Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange and Sasol, and provides a further illustration of TotalEnergies’ ability to develop innovative solutions by leveraging its diverse asset portfolio to support its customers’ decarbonization efforts.

 

Integrated Power in Germany: TotalEnergies joins RWE in two offshore wind projects

 

On October 7, 2024, TotalEnergies signed an agreement with RWE to acquire a 50% stake in two offshore wind projects in the North Sea. These two projects, N-9.1 (2 GW) and N9.2 (2 GW), located 110 km off the German coast, were awarded to RWE in August 2024 and have 25-year licenses extendable to 35 years.

 

This acquisition will add to our already awarded N-12.1, N-11.2 and O-2.2 concessions, which is expected to enable TotalEnergies to benefit from the synergies of its 6.5 GW German offshore wind hub and optimize its construction and operation costs.

 

Preliminary studies on the marine environment, subsoil, and wind and oceanographic conditions have already been conducted by the German Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH). This data is expected to help RWE and TotalEnergies to plan the construction of the parks, which are scheduled to be commissioned in 2031 and 2032, respectively.

 

Strategy & Outlook Presentation 2024

 

On October 2, 2024, Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO, and the members of the Executive Committee presented TotalEnergies’ Strategy & Outlook in New York. The webcast of the presentation in English is available on totalenergies.com.

 

TotalEnergies advanced its balanced and profitable transition strategy anchored on two pillars: Oil & Gas, notably LNG, and electricity, expecting to grow its global energy production (oil, gas, electricity, bioenergy) by 4% per year through 2030 while drastically lowering the emissions from its operations (-40% on Scope 1+2 net in 2030 vs 2015 and - 80% on methane in 2030 vs 2020). As a result of this transition strategy, the average carbon content of TotalEnergies’ energy sales is expected to be 25% lower in 2030 vs 2015.

 

Since its last outlook in September 2023, TotalEnergies has de-risked its growth and profitability perspectives in several ways:

 

·            An expected Oil & Gas production average growth of ~3% per year to 2030, led by LNG, thanks to the launch of six major projects in 2024 (two in Brazil, Suriname, Angola, Oman, Nigeria) that de-risk, high-grade and extend guidance from 2028 to 2030. Over the next two years in 2025 and 2026, growth is expected to exceed 3% per year due to the start-up of several high margin projects (US GoM, Brazil, Iraq, Uganda, Argentina, Malaysia, Qatar), which are accretive in net income per barrel and cash-flow per barrel. In 2024, the Company has also de-risked its LNG exposure to spot gas prices by signing long-term LNG sales contracts mainly indexed on Brent and by developing its upstream gas production in the US through two low-cost acquisitions.

 

Natural gas is indeed at the core of TotalEnergies’ transition strategy through an expected outstanding LNG growth (+50% over 2024-2030) and a gas-to-power integration supporting its profitable Integrated Power strategy to complement the intermittent renewables.

 

·            Growing electricity generation, expected to reach more than 100 TWh in 2030, of which 70% is expected to be renewable and 30% flexible-based. It is expected to represent nearly 20% of global energy production of the Company.

 

The Company retains flexibility to reduce its net investments by $2 billion in the case of a sharp drop in prices.

 

Thanks to this clear and disciplined investment policy and the perspective for +$10 billion of free cash flow growth by 2030 (versus 2024 at same price deck), the Board of Directors has projected a shareholder return1 of over 40% of cash flow through cycles and has made the following decisions:

 

·             In 2024, execute $8 billion in share buybacks2, corresponding to approximately 5% of the Company's capital. Anticipated shareholder return1 is above 45% of 2024 cash flow.

  

 

1 Payout = (dividends + share buybacks for cancellation) / CFFO

2 Including coverage of employees share grant plans

 

 

 

  

·             In 2025, continue share buybacks2 of $2 billion per quarter assuming reasonable market conditions, and increase the dividend per share by at least 5% based on the 2024 share buybacks.

 

Suriname: TotalEnergies announces Final Investment Decision for the GranMorgu development on Block 58

 

On October 1, 2024, Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, met in Paramaribo with His Excellency Chandrikapersad Santokhi, President of the Republic of Suriname, and Annand Jagesar, CEO of Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V., Suriname’s National Oil Company, to announce the Final Investment Decision (FID) for the “GranMorgu” development located on offshore Block 58.

 

“GranMorgu” means both “new dawn” and “Goliath grouper” in Sranan Tongo, the local language.

 

A landmark project in a prolific basin

 

The GranMorgu project is expected to develop the Sapakara and Krabdagu oil discoveries, on which a successful exploration and appraisal campaign was completed in 2023. The fields are located 150 km off the coast of Suriname and hold recoverable reserves estimated at over 750 million barrels.

 

The project includes a 220,000 barrels of oil per day Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit, that replicates a proven and efficient design. Total investment is estimated at around $10.5 billion and first oil is expected in 2028. The GranMorgu FPSO is designed to accommodate future tie-back opportunities that would extend its production plateau.

 

TotalEnergies is the operator of Block 58 with a 50% interest, alongside APA Corporation (50%). Staatsolie has announced its intent to exercise its option to enter the development project with up to 20% interest. Partners agreed that Staatsolie is expected to contribute to the project from FID and is expected to finalize its interest before June 2025.

 

Leveraging best-in-class technologies to minimize GHG emissions

 

GranMorgu leverages technology to minimize greenhouse gas emissions, with a scope 1 and 2 emissions intensity below 16 kg CO2e/boe thanks in particular to:

 

·             an all-electric FPSO configuration, with zero routine flaring and full reinjection of associated gas into the reservoirs;

 

·             an optimized power usage with a Waste Heat Recovery Unit and optimized water cooling for improved efficiency; and

 

·             the installation of a permanent methane detection and monitoring system relying on a network of sensors.

 

Maximising local content for the benefit of Suriname economy and people

 

Significant investments are expected to be made in local content and job creation and are expected to contribute to the development of the Surinamese economy. Paramaribo is expected to serve as the primary hub for administrative, support and logistic activities. Local companies are expected to be involved in logistics, well services, as well as the installation and operations of the subsea systems and the FPSO. Overall local content is estimated to be more than $1 billion and more than 6000 jobs (2000 direct and 4000 indirect and induced) are expected to be created in Suriname.

 

Alongside the FID announcement, TotalEnergies and its partner APA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Health Ministry to support the rehabilitation of two mother and child hospitals in Paramaribo.

 

Renewables: TotalEnergies starts up its largest utility-scale solar farms with batteries in the United States

 

On September 30, 2024, TotalEnergies started commercial operations of Danish Fields and Cottonwood, two utility-scale solar farms with integrated battery storage located in southeast Texas. These new projects, with a combined capacity of 1.2 GW, are part of a portfolio of renewable assets totaling 4 GW in operation or under construction in Texas.

 

Danish Fields is TotalEnergies’ largest solar farm in the United States, with a capacity of 720 MWp and 1.4 million ground-mounted photovoltaic panels. Danish Fields also features a 225 MWh battery storage system supplied by Saft, the battery subsidiary of TotalEnergies.

 

 

 

  

70% of Danish’s solar capacity has been contracted through long-term Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) signed with industry players like Saint-Gobain, featuring an upside sharing mechanism indexed on merchant price.

 

The remaining 30% will support the decarbonization of TotalEnergies’ industrial plants in the U.S. Gulf Coast region. Along with Myrtle Solar which was commissioned in 2023 and the under-construction Hill 1 solar farm, these three projects will cover the electricity consumption of TotalEnergies’ industrial sites in Port Arthur and La Porte in Texas, and Carville in Louisiana.

 

Cottonwood has a capacity of 455 MWp featuring over 847,000 ground-mounted photovoltaic panels. The site is expected to also feature 225 MWh of battery storage supplied by Saft, scheduled for commissioning in 2025. Cottonwood’s electricity production is contracted under long-term PPAs indexed to merchant prices through an upside-sharing mechanism with LyondellBasell and Saint-Gobain, to support their decarbonization efforts.

 

U.S.A.: TotalEnergies enhances gas value chain integration by acquiring producing assets in the Eagle Ford basin

 

On September 27, 2024, TotalEnergies signed an agreement with Lewis Energy Group to acquire a 45% interest in dry gas producing assets owned and operated by Lewis Energy Group in the Eagle Ford basin in Texas. The acquisition of these low cost and long plateau assets further strengthens TotalEnergies’ integration across the gas value chain in the US, and follows the Texas Dorado acquisition announced in April 2024.

 

TotalEnergies further expands its natural gas production in the U.S.

 

Located in Southwest Texas, the acquired assets have the potential to be developed to reach a sustainable gross production of around 400 Mcf/d by 2028.

 

This is the second acquisition of non-operated shale gas assets in 2024 after the purchase of non-operated interest in the Dorado asset, located in the Eagle Ford basin and which was purchased from Lewis Energy Group earlier this year. Moreover, TotalEnergies operates a technical production of around 500 Mcf/d in the Barnett.

 

TotalEnergies, one of the largest exporters of U.S. LNG

 

With over 10 million tons (Mt) exported in 2023, TotalEnergies is one of the largest exporters of U.S. LNG, thanks to its 16.6% stake in the Cameron LNG plant in Louisiana and several long-term purchasing agreements. The Company’s U.S. LNG export capacity is expected to reach 15 Mt/y by 2030.

 

Norway: Northern Lights facilities completed and ready to store CO2

 

On September 26, 2024, TotalEnergies and its partners, Equinor and Shell, announced the completion of the CO2 receiving and storage facilities of Northern Lights Joint-Venture in Norway. The facilities consist of a terminal that will receive CO2 cargos, a 100 km subsea pipeline for CO2 transportation to the offshore storage location, and subsea injection facilities for safe and permanent CO2 storage in a reservoir 2,600 meters below the seabed.

 

Northern Lights is now ready to receive and permanently store CO2 from European industries, with the first CO2 injection expected in 2025. Developing CO2 transportation and storage services is one of the necessary levers to reduce emissions and a realistic decarbonization solution for European industry.

 

Northern Lights is one of the world’s first commercial CO2 transportation and storage projects. The first phase of the project was supported by the Norwegian government and has a capacity of 1.5 Mt CO2/year, which has been fully booked by customers in Norway and Continental Europe. Studies are under way for a capacity expansion to more than 5 Mt CO2/y in a second phase.

 

South Korea: TotalEnergies will supply 200,000 tons per year of LNG to HD Hyundai Chemical until 2033

Thanks to this agreement, with prices indexed both to Brent and Henry Hub, TotalEnergies strengthens its long-term position in South Korea, the world’s third-largest LNG importing country. In Asia, LNG serves as a true transition energy, mitigating the intermittency of renewable energy sources and reducing emissions when it replaces coal in electricity generation.

 

 

 

  

Air France-KLM ramps up its SAF offtake agreement with TotalEnergies, which will supply up to 1.5 million tons of more sustainable aviation fuel over a 10-year period

 

On September 23, 2024, TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM signed an agreement for TotalEnergies to supply up to 1.5 million tons of more sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to Air France-KLM Group airlines over a 10-year period, until 2035.

 

This agreement marks one of the largest SAF purchase contracts signed by Air France-KLM to date. In 2022 and 2023, Air France-KLM was the world's leading SAF user, representing 17% and 16% of total global production respectively.

 

Accelerating the decarbonization of air transport in Europe

 

This contract builds on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed in 2022 for the supply of 800,000 tons of SAF. By re-evaluating this agreement today, the two groups are reaffirming their objective to curb the environmental impact of the air transport sector as quickly as possible by reducing CO2 emissions.

 

The SAF supplied to Air France-KLM will be made from waste and residues from the circular economy and is expected to be produced in TotalEnergies' French and European biorefineries and refineries by coprocessing. This SAF is expected to be used to fuel flights operated by Air France-KLM’s airlines on departure from France, the Netherlands, and other European countries. The development of SAF is at the heart of TotalEnergies' transition strategy to meet demand from the aviation sector.

 

Air France-KLM has implemented a strict sourcing policy, purchasing only second-generation SAF that does not compete with global food production, and that is RSB or ISCC+ certified for its sustainability.

 

SAF allows for a reduction in CO2 emissions of at least 75% and up to 90% over the entire fuel life cycle, compared with fossil fuel equivalents.

 

A long-standing partnership between TotalEnergies and Air France-KLM

 

For the past 10 years, TotalEnergies and the Air France-KLM Group have been working together to test and incorporate sustainable aviation fuel. This partnership began in 2014 with “Lab’line for the Future”, a two-year experiment during which 78 Air France flights between Paris-Orly and Toulouse, and between Paris-Orly and Nice were fueled with 10% SAF supplied by TotalEnergies.

 

In January 2020, TotalEnergies and Air France took part, alongside Safran and Suez, in the Call for Expressions of Interest launched by the French government to encourage the emergence of a French SAF production industry.

 

Since 2022, TotalEnergies has been supplying SAF to Air France-KLM Group airlines in France, as part of the French incorporation mandate.

United States: TotalEnergies invests in sustainable forestry operations to preserve sustainable carbon sinks

 

On August 30, 2024, TotalEnergies signed a $100 million agreement with Anew Climate, a North American leader in climate solutions, and Aurora Sustainable Lands, a carbon-stewardship company and forest landowner in the U.S. to deploy their projects aimed at protecting productive forests from heavy timber harvesting, advancing conversion to sustainable management practices, and enhancing their ability to store more carbon from the atmosphere. The investment supports Improved Forest Management (IFM) practices across a portfolio of 20 carbon projects, covering 300,000 hectares in 10 states across the U.S. (Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin). Anew Climate and Aurora Sustainable Lands will provide operational oversight to help ensure the carbon projects meet the highest standards of additionality and durability.

 

The environmental benefits expected from this improved forest management include the preservation of natural carbon sinks by reducing timber harvesting, as well as water and soil quality improvement, biodiversity protection and natural habitat conservation. The carbon credits generated are expected to be acquired by TotalEnergies and retired beyond 2030. After prioritizing emission avoidance and reduction, the Company is expected to use these credits to voluntarily offset part of its remaining direct Scope 1 & 2 emissions.
