TotalEnergies: hydrogen production at La Mède
(CercleFinance.com) - TotalEnergies and Air Liquide are launching a renewable hydrogen production project on the La Mède platform (Bouches-du-Rhône).
These projects will reduce CO2 emissions from the La Mède biorefinery by 130,000 tonnes a year.
Air Liquide will build and operate a renewable hydrogen production unit on the La Mède platform. With a capacity of 25,000 tonnes of hydrogen per year, the unit will recycle co-products from the TotalEnergies biorefinery.
The hydrogen will then be used by the biorefinery to produce biodiesel and Sustainable Air Fuels (SAF). This project represents a total investment of 150 million euros for TotalEnergies and Air Liquide. The new unit is scheduled to come on stream in 2028.
Nearly ten years after the announcement of its conversion, the La Mède platform is continuing its transformation and becoming a low-carbon hydrogen production center, thus contributing to the decarbonization objectives of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D'Azur region, TotalEnergies said.
