Clarification: The Grandpuits Conversion into a Zero-Crude Platform Continues and TotalEnergies will Meet All Its Commitments
TotalEnergies (TTE) is advancing the conversion of its Grandpuits refinery into France's first zero-crude platform, with over 1,200 workers currently engaged in the transformation. The project's key phase includes two major initiatives: the construction of France's first advanced plastics recycling unit and a biorefinery for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF).
The facility will have the capacity to produce 10,000 tons of pyrolysis oil annually from recycled plastic within months, and by early 2026, it will manufacture up to 230,000 tons of SAF yearly. While some second-phase projects like biogas and mechanical recycling have been suspended, TotalEnergies maintains its commitment to preserve 250 jobs at Grandpuits post-conversion, as initially planned in 2020.
TotalEnergies (TTE) sta portando avanti la conversione della sua raffineria di Grandpuits nella prima piattaforma zero-crude in Francia, con oltre 1.200 lavoratori attualmente impegnati nella trasformazione. La fase chiave del progetto include due iniziative principali: la costruzione della prima unità di riciclo avanzato della plastica in Francia e una bioraffineria per Carburanti Sostenibili per l'Aviazione (SAF).
La struttura avrà la capacità di produrre 10.000 tonnellate di olio di pirolisi all'anno da plastica riciclata entro pochi mesi e, entro inizio 2026, produrrà fino a 230.000 tonnellate di SAF all'anno. Anche se alcuni progetti della seconda fase, come biogas e riciclo meccanico, sono stati sospesi, TotalEnergies mantiene il suo impegno a preservare 250 posti di lavoro a Grandpuits dopo la conversione, come inizialmente previsto nel 2020.

La instalación tendrá la capacidad de producir 10.000 toneladas de aceite de pirólisis anualmente a partir de plástico reciclado en unos meses, y para principios de 2026, fabricará hasta 230.000 toneladas de SAF al año. Aunque algunos proyectos de segunda fase, como biogás y reciclaje mecánico, han sido suspendidos, TotalEnergies mantiene su compromiso de preservar 250 empleos en Grandpuits tras la conversión, tal como se planeó inicialmente en 2020.
TotalEnergies (TTE)는 프랑스 최초의 제로 크루드 플랫폼으로 Grandpuits 정유소의 전환을 진행하고 있으며, 현재 1,200명 이상의 직원이 이 변환 작업에 참여하고 있습니다. 프로젝트의 주요 단계에는 두 가지 주요 이니셔티브가 포함됩니다: 프랑스 최초의 고급 플라스틱 재활용 시설 건설과 지속 가능한 항공 연료(SAF)를 위한 바이오 정유소입니다.
이 시설은 몇 달 내에 재활용 플라스틱에서 연간 10,000톤의 열분해유를 생산할 수 있는 능력을 갖추게 되며, 2026년 초까지 연간 최대 230,000톤의 SAF를 제조할 것입니다. 일부 2단계 프로젝트인 바이오가스 및 기계적 재활용은 중단되었지만, TotalEnergies는 2020년 처음 계획한 대로 Grandpuits에서 250개의 일자리를 유지하겠다는 약속을 지키고 있습니다.
TotalEnergies (TTE) avance dans la conversion de sa raffinerie de Grandpuits en la première plateforme zéro-pétrole de France, avec plus de 1.200 travailleurs actuellement engagés dans la transformation. La phase clé du projet comprend deux initiatives majeures : la construction de la première unité de recyclage avancé des plastiques en France et une bioraffinerie pour les Carburants Aériens Durables (SAF).
La structure aura la capacité de produire 10.000 tonnes d'huile de pyrolyse par an à partir de plastique recyclé dans quelques mois, et d'ici début 2026, elle fabriquera jusqu'à 230.000 tonnes de SAF par an. Bien que certains projets de seconde phase, comme le biogaz et le recyclage mécanique, aient été suspendus, TotalEnergies maintient son engagement à préserver 250 emplois à Grandpuits après la conversion, comme prévu initialement en 2020.
TotalEnergies (TTE) treibt die Umwandlung seiner Raffinerie in Grandpuits zur ersten Null-Rohöl-Plattform Frankreichs voran, wobei derzeit über 1.200 Arbeiter an der Transformation beteiligt sind. Die Schlüsselphase des Projekts umfasst zwei bedeutende Initiativen: den Bau der ersten fortschrittlichen Kunststoffrecyclinganlage in Frankreich und eine Bioraffinerie für Nachhaltige Flugkraftstoffe (SAF).
Die Anlage wird in der Lage sein, innerhalb weniger Monate jährlich 10.000 Tonnen Pyrolyseöl aus recyceltem Kunststoff zu produzieren, und bis Anfang 2026 wird sie bis zu 230.000 Tonnen SAF pro Jahr herstellen. Während einige Projekte der zweiten Phase wie Biogas und mechanisches Recycling ausgesetzt wurden, hält TotalEnergies an seinem Engagement fest, nach der Umwandlung 250 Arbeitsplätze in Grandpuits zu erhalten, wie ursprünglich 2020 geplant.
- Development of France's first advanced plastics recycling facility
- Creation of significant SAF production capacity (230,000 tons/year)
- Maintenance of 250 jobs post-conversion
- Successful repurposing of existing equipment reducing capital expenditure
- Suspension of planned biogas and mechanical recycling projects
The complex construction operation, for which as much of the site's equipment as possible is reused, requires the mobilization and expertise of all the employees who know the Grandpuits site. Some projects due to arrive in the second phase — biogas and mechanical recycling — have been suspended and the employees who were to join them are assigned, with their agreement, to the success of the first two major projects. In line with its plans at the outset of the project in 2020, TotalEnergies confirms that 250 jobs will be maintained at Grandpuits following the conversion.
Within a few months, Grandpuits will be able to produce 10,000 tons a year of pyrolysis oil from recycled plastic, and from the beginning of 2026, up to 230,000 tons a year of Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
