TotalEnergies and Air Products have signed a 15-year agreement for the annual supply in Europe of 70,000 tons of green hydrogen starting in 2030.
This first long-term deal follows TotalEnergies’ call for tenders for the supply of 500,000 tons per year of green hydrogen to decarbonize TotalEnergies’ European refineries.
Under the agreement, Air Products will deliver at TotalEnergies’ Northern European refineries’ doorstep, green hydrogen from Air Products’ global supply network. This hydrogen will avoid around 700,000 tons of CO2 each year. The contract awarded to Air Products is a first step towards achieving TotalEnergies’ objective of reducing net greenhouse gas emissions from its oil and gas operations (Scope 1+2) by 40 percent by 2030 compared to 2015 levels.
Air Products, the worldwide leader in terms of hydrogen supply, has been a first mover, committing more than $15 billion to real, large-scale energy transition projects and launching several large low-carbon hydrogen projects in the world, making it a leading and reliable supplier.
“This deal with Air Products, the first signed following the call for tenders launched last year, is a stepping stone towards our goal of decarbonizing the hydrogen used in TotalEnergies’ refineries in Northern Europe by the end of the decade. We are proud to partner with Air Products, a pioneer in low-carbon hydrogen production, under the leadership of Seifi Ghasemi. Once again, we demonstrate our capacity to pioneer the energy transition and contribute to the emergence of a green hydrogen industry by offering long-term contracts with our six refineries and two biorefineries in Europe. We are also happy to extend our partnership with Air Products by becoming ourselves a supplier of green power to Air Products and contributing to Air Products’ decarbonization roadmap,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
