TotalEnergies\u2019 ambition is to be a major player in the energy transition and to get to net zero by 2050, together with society.<\/h2>\n\n\n\nDiscov<\/strong>er<\/strong><\/span><\/path><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

A shrinking carbon footprint<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

TotalEnergies EP Denmark\u2019s Carbon Footprint Reduction (CFR) team is identifying and screening opportunities to reduce Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Several initiatives are proceeding successfully, with reduction of flaring just one example among many.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A pressure control valve on the Dan field in the Danish North Sea was passing gas \u2013 resulting in an additional 5,000 standard cubic meters per day extra flare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The repair of internal parts was undertaken during a planned shutdown of the NOGAT pipeline in September 2022 and a subsequent inflow test confirmed the valve was tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful repair reduced the emissions by 4,100 tons of CO2<\/sub> per year and is just one example of TotalEnergies EP Denmark\u2019s CFR initiatives. This began in 2019 and has made considerable progress, with plenty more to do to achieve ambitious targets for 2025, 2030 and ultimately net zero 2050. For 2030, the aim is a 40% reduction vs 2015 net emissions Scope 1 and 2 from operated assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to accelerate and do more,\u201d says Susanne Frederiksen, CFR Manager. \u201cWith strengthened leadership focus, reducing our carbon footprint is spreading automatically and we get a lot of support from other departments both on- and offshore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Definition of Scope 1 and 2<\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Scope 1: <\/strong>Total GHG emissions from sources at facilities owned (partially or wholly) and\/or operated by TotalEnergies. Direct GHG emissions correspond to Scope 1 emissions as defined by the GHG Protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scope 2: <\/strong>GHG emissions that occur at the point of the energy generation (owned or operated by a third party) for electricity, heat or steam imported (i.e. purchased) for use on site. Indirect GHG emissions from imported energy correspond to Scope 2 emissions as defined by the GHG Protocol.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Efficiency focus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    TotalEnergies global top management has outlined plans to spend $1 billion over two years to become more energy efficient, adding further momentum to climate footprint efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company is seeking to reduce energy consumption across all of production, logistics and sales operations. This will also reduce costs and increase competitiveness while also resulting in more sustainable consumption of energy. The work of the CFR team in Esbjerg is a direct outcome of an intense focus on carbon reductions and the formation of a dedicated team is a great advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whereas people used to work on CFR alongside their regular jobs, there is now a core team of three in Denmark working alongside team representatives from other departments. Well over 100 initiatives have been identified to reduce carbon footprint \u2013 some are still to be screened, some are found not to be feasible, others are on hold, but many receive a green light and dedicated resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cNow we have this core team and we have accelerated the maturation of projects,\u201d says Lars Hvejsel Hansen, Lead CFR Engineer. \u201cPeople want to buy in on this journey, especially regarding reducing emissions from our facilities. Everyone is very engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
