We delivered significant progress in the hook-up and commissioning of the Tyra field, one of Europe\u2019s largest gas fields. Ensuring the safe start-up and subsequent ramp-up of production from this redeveloped field remains our top priority in 2024, enabling us to supply energy to Denmark and the rest of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we \u2013 alongside society \u2013 continue to invest in renewable energy sources, the necessity of oil and gas remains crucial. These resources are still the backbone of energy consumption globally and in Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensuring that these essential resources come from the North Sea rather than foreign sources is critical for Denmark. By harnessing our domestic resources, we enhance the country\u2019s energy security, support the Danish economy, and maintain a level of oversight and environmental stewardship that may not be possible with imports from overseas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-04b7ba47 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Eliminate routine flaring<br><\/strong>We pride ourselves on our increasingly environmentally conscious production. Through the dedication of our employees and company commitment, we have achieved significant advancements in reducing our carbon footprint while improving efficiency in mature assets through operational excellence. In 2023, we completed the re-route of Halfdan\u2019s production, which enabled us to eliminate routine flaring. This achievement results in substantial emissions savings and supports our company-wide goal of reducing global methane emissions from production by 80% from 2020 to 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-26721246 gb-headline-text\">\u201cBy harnessing our domestic resources, we enhance the country\u2019s energy security, support the Danish economy, and maintain a level of oversight and environmental stewardship that may not be possible with imports from overseas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-c692218e gb-headline-text\"><strong>Exploring the North Sea\u2019s future CCS potential<br><\/strong>2023 marked a milestone as TotalEnergies completed the first-ever large-scale seismic survey in Denmark to explore the potential of utilizing a saline aquifer for CO<sub>2<\/sub> storage in the Danish part of the North Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b4eb639b gb-headline-text\">The Danish state awarded TotalEnergies two licenses to explore CO<sub>2<\/sub> storage potential in the North Sea. In 2023, TotalEnergies started conducting evaluation and appraisal work to develop a project that could ultimately transport and permanently store more than 5 Mt CO<sub>2<\/sub>\/year by repurposing existing infrastructure and building new facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-43cbe8c3 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Meaningful partnerships with our local community<\/strong><br>As one of the largest employers of Esbjerg, we are proud to support the local community. In the past year, we partnered with Education Esbjerg to transform Esbjerg into a center of learning excellence. Our employees volunteer to mentor young professionals, preparing them to initiate their careers with confidence.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-4c40c74c gb-headline-text\">Building on our partnership with the Wadden Sea National Park announced in 2022, our employees have continued to help protect one of the most important wildlife habitats in Northwestern Europe by volunteering to build protective fencing for endangered bird species.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-b4b426ba gb-headline-text\"><strong>Our people at the core<\/strong><br>None of the above would be possible without our people. One of the highlights from the past year has been seeing a highly engaged organization come together to define a common culture through our strategic \u201cOur People\u201d project. This initiative has paved the way for how we now collaborate across our business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5e7406e6 gb-headline-text\">As ever, health and safety continue to be the cornerstone of our operations. Our utmost priority is ensuring that everyone goes home safely every day. I am proud to report that our health and safety metrics have shown marked improvements over the past year. This achievement is the result of rigorous safety protocols, continuous training, and a key focus on the well-being of our workforce above all else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-2d0186a4 gb-headline-text\">As we look to the future, TotalEnergies EP Denmark remains committed to leading in the energy sector with responsibility and integrity. We will continue to provide Denmark with reliable oil and gas, produced efficiently and with respect for our environment and communities. Our journey towards sustainability is ongoing, and we are dedicated to making meaningful contributions towards a more sustainable energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-7c564cea gb-headline-text\"><strong>Eric Delattre<\/strong><br>Managing Director<br>TotalEnergies EP Denmark<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-eb0d79bd\" id=\"nextsection\">\n\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-6e1a2d7b gb-headline-text\"><strong>Next section<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2b0c4e5a\">\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-cef293e7 gb-headline-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/tepdk-sustainability-report.dk\/2023\/our-sustainability-ambition\/\">Our sustainability ambition<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<a class=\"gb-button gb-button-de913533 gb-button-text\" href=\"http:\/\/tepdk-sustainability-report.dk\/2023\/our-sustainability-ambition \">Read<\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2906,"parent":0,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-150","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
