This week, at the IEA’s Summit on Clean Cooking in Africa, I was keen to reinforce TotalEnergies’ role in addressing this major challenge. We are aiming to give 100 million people in #Africa and #India access to clean cooking by 2030, investing more than $400 million in the development of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) for cooking. This will improve people's health and will have a positive impact on the environment, notably in places where we are already involved, such as #Tanzania, #Uganda or #Mozambique. #Cleancooking is key to long-term social, economic and human development that is more sustainable, and also helps reduce gender inequalities. The challenge is great: the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that more than 2.3 billion people worldwide do not have access to clean cooking solutions, and still rely on traditional stoves using wood and charcoal. Our collective commitment must be both strong and pragmatic, offering solutions that are affordable to everyone! 📣 https://lnkd.in/eDFFWFaV

🇴🇲 I am proud of the new chapter opening for TotalEnergies in the Sultanate of #Oman, where we will support #sustainable development of its #energy resources on a whole new scale. The integrated Marsa LNG project combines upstream gas production, downstream gas liquefaction and renewable power generation, creating long-term employment opportunities and significant socio-economic benefits for the city of Sohar and the region. - 100% electrically driven and supplied with solar power, the site will be one of the world's lowest GHG emissions intensity LNG plants ever built, with a GHG intensity below 3 kg CO2e/boe. Setting very low-carbon intensity standards for the next generation of LNG plants — that’s the pioneering spirit that drives us and keeps us moving forward! - As the first LNG bunkering hub in the #MiddleEast, the project will contribute directly to reducing the shipping industry’s emissions in the area and showcase an available and competitive alternative to marine fuel. - Finally, I have confirmed during my stay that TotalEnergies is at an advanced stage of discussions with OQ Alternative Energy, the national renewable energy champion, to jointly develop a portfolio of up to 800 MW. 👉 In sum: 1 clear multi-energy strategy, 2 pillars (#LNG and #renewables) to achieve our goals… …and 3 new concrete examples of our momentum!

100 years ago, the story of TotalEnergies began. From Day One, our predecessors decided that our story would be an international one: from France, in the heart of Europe, to Iraq, in the Middle East. Over the following decades, subsequent generations achieved a series of exploits around the world and built the exceptional #energy company that I have the honor of leading today. These #100years tell the story of our world and energy. It's a story of progress and upheaval, both technological and geopolitical, that has repeatedly tested the Company's resilience. At every step, the boldness, passion and commitment of our men and women has enabled us to overcome the obstacles and keep moving forward.   We’ve evolved from an Oil company, to an #OilandGas company, and now, at our #centenary, we’re accelerating in #electricity and #lowcarbon energies. In just a decade, TotalEnergies is well on its way to becoming a world-class player in #renewables — an extremely rapid strategic move in the industrial world. The pace is fast, but we know how to move quickly! We’ve done it before: in the decade from 1924 and 1934, for example, our founders built this company up from scratch, making discoveries and building refineries and industrial assets. Drawing on this heritage and relying on our strengths and values — Safety, Respect for Each Other, Stand Together, Performance-Minded and of course Pioneer Spirit — TotalEnergies will rise to the challenges facing us today. First and foremost is the #energytransition, and supplying the world with the affordable energy it needs to develop while also reducing emissions. With #teams like ours on the ground, there's no better way to start this new chapter in our exciting adventure!

💯 #TotalEnergies shares for each and every one of our #employees, around the world! This initiative makes me particularly proud and happy because it honors and rewards the daily commitment of the men and women of our global Company. Our story began with a handful of #energy pioneers, from Europe, then in the Middle East, and we quickly became international: today, there are 100,000 of us in nearly 130 countries! A centenary is an exceptional event — and such allocation is also a first in the Company's history. Yet it is part of an employee shareholding dynamic that is deeply rooted in our corporate culture. Before this announcement, 65% of TotalEnergies employees worldwide were already shareholders. I'm a great believer in employee share ownership; it is the best way of aligning the interest of those who make the company what it is and the interest of the shareholders. As we celebrate our 100th #anniversary, it's also a reminder of how TotalEnergies got here: the commitment, resilience and collective strength of our predecessors who, starting from nothing, built this great global energy company. We have inherited this exciting adventure, now it's up to us to continue writing our future together! 📰 https://lnkd.in/ewfTSnBp

100 actions TotalEnergies pour tous nos salariés, partout dans le Monde et en France bien sûr ! C’est une initiative exceptionnelle qui me rend particulièrement fier et heureux car elle met à l’honneur et récompense l’engagement quotidien des femmes et hommes de notre entreprise partout dans le monde. En #France, alors que l’histoire a démarré avec une poignée de pionniers de l’#énergie, nous sommes désormais 35 000, soit un tiers de nos effectifs mondiaux.   Un centenaire est un événement exceptionnel… et cette attribution l’est ! C’est une première dans l’histoire de la Compagnie, mais elle s’inscrit dans une dynamique d’actionnariat salarié qui est ancrée dans notre culture d’entreprise : avant cette annonce, 80% des #salariés de TotalEnergies en France étaient déjà parmi nos actionnaires (donc parmi les propriétaires de l’entreprise, ce qui est toujours bon à rappeler). Je crois beaucoup à l’actionnariat salarié car c’est pour moi la meilleure façon d’aligner l’intérêt de celles et ceux qui « font » l’entreprise et celui de nos actionnaires.   Dans le contexte de nos #100ans, cela rappelle également ce qui a forgé #TotalEnergies : l’engagement, la résilience et la force collective de nos prédécesseurs qui, partis de rien, ont construit une grande entreprise française de l’#énergie qui rayonne partout dans le monde.   Mais bien sûr, quand on célèbre un #anniversaire, on réunit et on pense à tous ceux qui comptent. Il fallait donc associer nos #clients pour les remercier de leur fidélité et nous avons décidé les initiatives suivantes : 💡 100€ aux 100 000 premiers nouveaux clients qui souscriront une offre électricité classique. 🚘 100€ aux 100 000 premiers clients particuliers détenteurs de la carte « Club TotalEnergies », qui auront acheté 1000€ de carburant en 2024.   « 💯 pour 💯 » ! https://lnkd.in/eRfihAr2

More than half of the world's population does not have access to #socialprotection systems. This is particularly evident in #Asia, #Africa, and #LatinAmerica, with strong contrasts between countries. 🗺 Health is a fundamental good, and I'm very proud that our global Company, with a presence in nearly 130 countries, is strengthening our commitment to social responsibility toward all of our employees.   Our Care Together program covers four areas: - #SocialProtection, including adequate and reliable health insurance, and death benefit plans; - #Health, with a biennial medical check-up and a global prevention program for psychosocial risks; - Family, including childcare leave; - Attention to working environment and conditions. There are more than 100,000 women and men around the world turning TotalEnergies' ambitions into real-life results. As CEO, I'm proud that our company is committed to high social standards for all our employees worldwide. It is also a key factor in our performance and contributes to making us better collectively! 📣 https://lnkd.in/essZdGgZ

Today, TotalEnergies has presented #results that are robust, aligned with our stated objectives. These results, which come at a moment of macro economics uncertainty and geopolitical instability, confirm the relevance of our balanced #energytransition strategy and the commitment of our teams that is enabling us to address today's growing global demand, while simultaneously building the decarbonized #energy system of tomorrow.   TotalEnergies has thus invested more than $16 billion in 2023 – more than one-third of which is dedicated to #lowcarbon energies, mainly #electricity and #renewables. Profitable growth, added to that increasing share of investment, illustrate our concrete support for key COP 28 objectives: tripling renewable capacity worldwide by 2030 and aiming for zero methane emissions.   In other words: more energy, less emissions, more cash-flow   At the same time, TotalEnergies continues to share its excellent results with its collaborators and shareholders — the former for their work on behalf of our shareholders and their commitment to the transition; the second for their trust.   The strength of our results is a matter of pride for us, as it enables TotalEnergies to mobilize the resources necessary to fulfill our ambitions, and to concretely implement our roadmap. 📰 https://lnkd.in/e2FzF28E

J’ai eu le plaisir de refermer l’année 2023 en #Irak, là où tout a commencé pour TotalEnergies il y a #100ans, en 1924. 🗓   Un ancrage historique qui est également un symbole de notre stratégie de transition : #pétrole, #gaz, #électricité – et bientôt #renouvelables – s’y complètent aujourd’hui pour apporter une énergie disponible et durable, avec bien sûr l’ambition de limiter les émissions de CO2 et de méthane. Voilà la dynamique que nous souhaitons porter pour répondre à la demande en #énergie, ou plutôt « pour répondre aux demandes en énergies », tant les réalités, les besoins et les leviers peuvent varier selon les endroits du monde.   🚀 Et alors que 2024 promet de nouveaux défis et de nouvelles opportunités, ce début d’année est pour moi l’occasion de souligner l’engagement des femmes et des hommes de TotalEnergies qui rendent cela possible, ainsi qu’à leur audace, qui nous fait progresser et qui rend possible ce qui n’était même pas envisagé auparavant. Cette audace collective est une part de l’esprit pionnier qui nous caractérise et qui nous guidera tout au long de cette année du centenaire.   Je vous souhaite donc une très bonne année à toutes et à tous, une année… audacieuse ! ✨   ------------------------------------------------------ 🗓 I had the pleasure of ringing in the year 2024 in #Iraq, where everything began for TotalEnergies exactly #100years ago, in 1924. The country represents both a historical milestone for us and a symbol of our transition strategy: #oil, #gas, #electricity – and soon, #renewables – work hand-in-hand to provide abundant and sustainable energy, always of course with the ambition of limiting CO2 and methane emissions. That is precisely how we aim to meet the demand for energy – or rather the demands for energies, as we know full well how much the context, needs and resources can vary depending on where in the world you are. As #2024 promises to bring new challenges and opportunities, this start of the year offers me a chance to highlight the commitment of the men and women of TotalEnergies who make it all possible. Their boldness is what propels us forward and helps us achieve goals so many thought were beyond our reach. It is this collective boldness that has always embodied the pioneering spirit that characterizes our work, and will guide us throughout this centennial year. 🚀 So, I wish you all a very happy new year — and a bold one at that! ✨

Les émissions de #méthane sont trop souvent négligées dans la lutte contre les émissions de gaz à effet de serre... mais cette semaine, à l'occasion de la journée de l'#énergie de la COP28 UAE, elles étaient bien au centre des débats. Plus méconnues que les émissions de CO2, elles ont un pouvoir de réchauffement 28 fois supérieur et proviennent de multiples sources : agriculture, production et utilisation de combustibles fossiles ou décomposition de déchets. A lui seul, le secteur du pétrole et du gaz représente 25% de ces émissions, je considère donc qu’il lui incombe de prendre ses responsabilités. C’était d’ailleurs le sens de mon appel lors de la COP27, pour que les entreprises du secteur - nationales et internationales - rejoignent l'OGMP 2.0 avec l’objectif d’atteindre zéro émission de méthane.   Un an plus tard, le virage est pris et je suis ravi de voir que plus de 50 compagnies pétrolières nationales et internationales, représentant 40 % de la production mondiale de pétrole, adhèrent à la Charte de décarbonation du pétrole et du gaz (OGDC) lancée pendant cette COP. Il s'agit d'un engagement historique par lequel ces entreprises visent à atteindre le zéro émission de méthane pour le secteur amont ainsi que l'arrêt du torchage d'ici à 2030, tout en continuant à travailler sur les meilleures pratiques en matière de réduction des émissions.   En tant que PDG de TotalEnergies, c’est un combat personnel, j’étais donc honoré d’être invité à une table ronde sur ce sujet crucial.   Sur nos actifs opérés, l'expertise et la technologie de TotalEnergies ont déjà permis de réduire les émissions de 50 % en 10 ans et de viser une réduction supplémentaire de 50 % d'ici 2025 (avec l'ambition d'atteindre cet objectif avec un an d'avance), pour ensuite réduire de 80 % en 2030, par rapport à 2020. Le programme est clair : arrêt du torchage, arrêt du venting et gestion des fuites dès qu'elles sont détectées.   L'engagement de TotalEnergies va d'ailleurs au-delà de nos propres actifs opérés, puisque nous contribuons à rassembler les acteurs de l'industrie dans cette démarche collective, nous mettons notre technologie de détection au service de nos pairs - en particulier les Compagnies Nationales – et que nous venons de contribuer au fonds Global Flaring and Methane Reduction (GFMR) de la Banque mondiale, avec un don de 25 millions de dollars sur 2024-2030.   📰 https://lnkd.in/eNpAgxvB 📰 https://lnkd.in/ey4y8Bhj   L'objectif de zéro émission de méthane est essentiel dans la lutte contre le changement climatique au cours de cette décennie. Les moyens techniques et financiers sont là, ce qui donne aux acteurs de l'O&G la capacité d'agir ensemble. Dès maintenant.

All too often, #methaneemissions are an afterthought in the fight against greenhouse gas emissions... but they took center stage at COP28 UAE #Energy Day. More widely misunderstood than CO2 emissions, they have 28 times their warming capacity and come from multiple sources, notably agriculture, fossil fuel production and use, or decomposing waste. The oil & gas sector alone accounts for 25% of global methane emissions, so I believe it has a duty to assume its responsibilities. Last year, at COP27, this was the main point of my call to action to all Oil & Gas companies, national and international, to join the OGMP 2.0 and work towards zero methane emissions. A year later, at #COP28, I am deeply satisfied to see that we are now more than 50 National and International Oil Companies, representing 40% of global oil production, that have embarked in the Oil and Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC). This is a historical pledge in which these companies aim for near-zero upstream methane emissions and zero routine flaring by 2030 and continue working towards industry-best practices in emission reductions.   As CEO of TotalEnergies, slashing down methane emissions is a personal fight, therefore it was an honor and privilege to participate yesterday in the roundtable on reducing methane emissions. TotalEnergies‘ expertise and technology has already enabled us to reduce emissions from our assets by 50% in 10 years, then to target a further -50% by 2025 - with the ambition to reach this target a year early, in 2024 and after that, by -80% in 2030, as compared to 2020. The program is clear : stop routine flaring, stop venting, extinct fugitive emissions as soon as they are detected. Above all, we see our commitment extending beyond our own operated assets: by helping to bring together as many industry players as possible, by putting our methane detection technology at the service of our peers - particularly National Companies - and by having announced earlier a donation of $25 million over 2024-2030 to the Global Flaring and Methane Reduction (GFMR) trust fund, an initiative of the World Bank, to take action and bring significant change for the climate. 📰 https://lnkd.in/edeq6s2m 📰 https://lnkd.in/eHQ_Mrqi   Aiming for zero methane emissions is key in the fight against climate change this decade. The technical and financial means are there, and the O&G players present today in Dubai for COP28 have the capacity to act together now.
