Insights
The deployment of continuous methane detection systems across TotalEnergies' upstream assets represents a significant technological and environmental milestone. The accelerated timeline to achieve a
This initiative positions TotalEnergies as an industry leader in methane emissions management, potentially creating competitive advantages through reduced environmental impact and operational costs. The real-time detection capabilities will likely result in faster leak identification and repair, leading to both environmental and economic benefits through preserved product value and reduced regulatory risks. This aligns with increasing global pressure on energy companies to address methane emissions and could positively impact the company's ESG metrics and stakeholder relationships.
As part of its ambition to aim for near-zero methane emissions by 2030, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces that the Company is going a step further in the monitoring and reduction of its methane emissions with the deployment of continuous, real-time detection equipment at all of its operated Upstream sites.
Setting a new standard in monitoring of methane emissions
Since 2022, TotalEnergies has been pursuing its ambition to aim for near-zero methane operated emissions in 2030: the Company will meet as soon as 2024 its target to reduce emissions by
Complementing its portfolio of detection technologies already in place, TotalEnergies is going a step further by installing continuous detection equipment on all its operated Upstream assets, enabling real-time identification of methane emissions, both fugitive and stationary, and immediate corrective actions to stop them.
This continuous detection plan will be fully implemented by end-2025 and will use existing and proven technologies such as loT2 sensors, InfraRed cameras, flowmeters and Predictive Emissions Monitoring Systems on combustion sources.
Continuous, real-time detection on this scale - both for existing facilities and projects under development, such as the GranMorgu FPSO in Suriname – is a pioneering move in the industry and sets a new standard for the Company.
“Slashing down methane emissions is a short-term priority to contribute to the fight against climate change. Continuous, real-time detection will enable our operators to act in an even more decisive manner in order to reduce our methane emissions and to repair leaks to achieve our near-zero methane emissions ambition. As a champion of the Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (OGDC), I am proud that TotalEnergies is leading the way in deploying such equipment at large scale and we will continue to work with the industry to share best practices in measuring and fighting methane emissions,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.
