A message from
the Managing Director<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The year 2024 has been a transformative period in the global energy landscape, bringing both opportunity and responsibility for TotalEnergies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On one hand, the lasting geopolitical tensions have once again underscored the urgent need for a stable and secure energy supply to Denmark and to Europe. Therefore, we need to leverage our North Sea oil and gas resources to ensure reliant energy for ourselves and our neighboring countries. Our domestic energy production allows us to uphold stringent environmental standards, ensuring that the energy we in TotalEnergies produce and consume comes with a reduced footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Globally, the energy transition also continues to accelerate, as demonstrated at COP29 in Baku, where world leaders reached a landmark agreement on reducing global methane emissions \u2013 a key priority we actively support through our own emission reduction initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A defining milestone: Bringing Tyra back on stream<\/strong>
<\/strong>A pivotal achievement this year was the restart of the Tyra facilities, marking a new chapter for Denmark\u2019s largest natural gas field. Since the first gas export in March, we have been through a challenging period of ramping up production. Tyra will boost domestic energy supply at a time when resilience and reliability are more important than ever \u2013 something we have looked forward to since the decommissioning of the old facilities in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tyra is one of the world\u2019s most advanced gas hubs, designed to operate with 30% lower emissions than before. This means that Denmark\u2019s natural gas production is more efficient, reinforcing our role in supplying energy responsibly while reducing our country\u2019s dependence on imports from foreign powers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe recognize the balance we must strike: ensuring energy security for ourselves and our neighboring countries today while innovating and acting responsibly to drive the transition towards a lower-carbon tomorrow. In 2024, we took significant steps to meet this challenge head-on, both by making our future oil and gas production less carbon intensive but also by preparing our organization for a future role as a strong operational base for offshore CO2<\/sub> storage in the Danish North Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transparency in environmental leadership
<\/strong>In 2024, we also strengthened our commitment to environmental transparency with the launch of the North Sea Environment Portal, developed alongside our DUC partners BlueNord and Nords\u00f8fonden. This online platform provides public access to more than 40 years of environmental data and knowledge, allowing regulators, researchers, and industry partners to collaborate and drive more sustainable developments in the offshore energy industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond transparency, we are taking direct action to understand and protect the marine biodiversity around our installations in the North Sea. Our work with marine researchers, including a project aimed at examining the cod population around our offshore platforms, highlights our dedication to understanding and protecting life beneath the surface in the areas in which we operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a culture of safety and engagement
<\/strong>None of the above would be possible without our people. I am proud to share that in 2024 TotalEnergies EP Denmark has once again achieved a high employee engagement score. This is clear evidence of the commitment, expertise, and resilience of our teams and the hard work we put into fostering a good place to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety remains at the core of everything we do. Through continued sharp focus and collaboration with our offshore teams, we keep working to further improve our safety performance. Our\u00a0\u201cWinter Positive Safety campaign 101 \u2013 1 Goal, 0 Incidents, 1 Team\u201d, developed together with our core contractors seeks to reinforce safety behaviors offshore and more initiatives are in the pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strengthening our community partnerships
<\/strong>Being based in Esbjerg, we are privileged to have the Wadden Sea National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, in our backyard. In 2024, we continued our partnership with the park as part of our Action! employee volunteering program, giving our employees the opportunity to spend three days per year contributing to the sustainable development efforts such as building fenced areas to protect endangered bird species and cleaning up coastal areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the efforts within our community program, we also strengthened our engagement with local education organizations, such as Education Esbjerg, SDU, and The House of Natural Sciences (Naturvidenskabernes Hus), to support the next generation of energy professionals that will build rewarding careers and help drive change within our industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead
<\/strong>As we see towards the future, our mission as Denmark\u2019s leading producer of oil and gas remains clear: to deliver the energy Denmark and Europe need while contributing actively to building a new energy system based on renewable solutions. We are working together with government agencies, industry partners, and our employees to reduce emissions, enhance transparency, and drive the energy transition forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I invite you to explore our 2024 Sustainability Report to learn more about our tangible actions, the progress we\u2019ve made, and our vision for the future. To our employees, partners, and stakeholders \u2013 thank you for your dedication, collaboration, and commitment throughout 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ole Hansen
<\/strong>Managing Director, TotalEnergies EP Denmark<\/p>\n\n\n
