TotalEnergies Rises with Strategic Green Energy Partnerships in Denmark and Germany

TotalEnergies has recently been at the forefront of major strategic partnerships and endeavors aimed at boosting renewable energy offerings and advancing the global energy transition. On April 1st, TotalEnergies entered into a collaboration with European Energy to explore the expansive potential of offshore wind energy in Denmark. This significant partnership aligns with the state visit of Denmark’s King Frederik to France, emphasizing the increasing cooperation between the two nations in energy transition initiatives.

The joint endeavor will see TotalEnergies and European Energy participate in upcoming Danish offshore wind project tenders, focusing on two major developments: Lillebælt Syd, with a capacity of 165 megawatts, expected to power 148,000 homes annually, and Jammerland Bugt, boasting 240 megawatts, aimed at supplying renewable energy to 240,000 households. These projects are poised to receive construction approval by the Danish Energy Agency and are set to begin operations by 2030, enhancing TotalEnergies' foothold in the Nordic renewable sector.

Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, emphasizes the critical importance of this collaboration as a strategic milestone. The cooperation not only fortifies TotalEnergies' position in the Nordic markets but significantly contributes toward global energy transition efforts. Mikkel Krogsgaard from European Energy echoes this sentiment, expressing enthusiasm for advancing these landmark projects that promise clean energy provisions to Denmark and potentially spearheading similar endeavors within other Nordic countries.

Furthermore, TotalEnergies is vigorously pursuing advancements within the realm of green hydrogen. With a 15-year supply agreement with Germany's Rhine Group, the initiative marks a substantial leap toward carbon footprint reduction. Starting in 2030, the group will supply approximately 30,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to TotalEnergies’ refinery in Leuna, Germany, reflecting a decisive move to curtail carbon emissions through sustainable energy solutions.

The strategic investments extend to TotalEnergies' burgeoning presence in Germany, with innovative battery storage systems being deployed. These systems, developed by subsidiary Kyon Energy and utilizing Saft's advanced battery technology, promise enhanced grid flexibility and reduced congestion across Germany, reinforcing TotalEnergies' commitment to fostering resilient renewable energy infrastructures.
