In addition to our emission reduction projects and the initiatives carried out as part of our overall energy efficiency improvement program, we are developing Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) to deal with a portion of CO₂ emissions generated by our assets.

CCS is an effective way to reduce the emissions from our plants, whether we are operator or partner, together with our other efforts in this area. In Norway, where we have joined forces with Equinor at the Snøhvit plant, around 9 Mt of CO₂ have been stored since 2008.

Ecosystems, especially forests, are natural carbon sinks, which is why it is essential they are preserved if we are to achieve carbon neutrality.

TotalEnergies prioritizes efforts first to reduce its direct emissions. The Company will begin voluntarily offsetting its residual Scope 1+2 emissions through NBS (Nature Based Solutions) only in 2030, gradually increasing up to 2050.

We are investing in regenerative agriculture or wetland protection projects. Our approach involves combining and balancing the value of financial revenue from agriculture and forestry and the value of the benefits to soil, biodiversity, the water cycle and the production of carbon credits.

An annual budget of approximately $100 million is allocated to these projects. We are working to build a high-quality portfolio, focusing closely on the integrity and lasting nature of the emissions reductions and sequestration achieved by the activities financed in this way.
