TotalEnergies has signed agreements with German renewable developer RWE to acquire a 50% stake in OranjeWind, a 795 Megawatt (MW) offshore wind farm under development in the Netherlands.
In further evidence of the operator stepping up its emissions-cutting intent, TotalEnergies will dedicate its share of the renewable electricity production from this project to power 350 MW electrolysers which will produce about 40,000 tonnes per year of green hydrogen for the decarbonisation of the firm’s refineries in Northern Europe.
The French energy giant plans to cut its CO2 emissions by around 5 million tonnes per year by 2030.
