Hydrogen: TotalEnergies Accelerates Decarbonization of its Platform at La Mède
TotalEnergies partners with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at La Mède biorefinery in France, complementing the existing Masshylia project with ENGIE. Air Liquide will build and operate a unit with 25,000 tons annual capacity, recycling biorefinery coproducts to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). The €150 million project will start production in 2028 and reduce annual CO2 emissions by 130,000 tons. The Masshylia project, targeting 10,000 tons yearly capacity through water electrolysis, aims to launch its first 20 MW electrolyser in 2029, subject to approvals and subsidies.

The expected 130,000-ton reduction in annual CO2 emissions at La Mède contributes meaningfully to the company's broader goal of cutting 3 million tons of CO2 emissions across European refineries by 2030. This project strengthens TotalEnergies' competitive position in the energy transition landscape and could provide significant long-term value through carbon credits and premium pricing for sustainable aviation fuel.
In line with its 2030 ambition to decarbonize the hydrogen used in its European refineries, TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has joined forces with Air Liquide to produce renewable hydrogen at La Mède in southeast
Renewable hydrogen for biofuels production, with Air Liquide
Air Liquide is going to build and operate a renewable hydrogen production unit at the La Mède platform. With an annual capacity of 25,000 tons, this unit will recycle coproducts from the TotalEnergies biorefinery. The hydrogen will then be used in the biorefinery to produce biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).
The project’s total investment amounts to
“This new renewable hydrogen production project, carried out with Air Liquide, allows us to accelerate the decarbonization of our La Mède platform. Almost ten years after the announcement of its conversion, La Mède is continuing its transformation and is becoming a low-carbon hydrogen production center, thus contributing to the decarbonization ambition of the Provence-Alpes-Côte-D’azur region,” said Vincent Stoquart, President, Refining & Chemicals at TotalEnergies.
At the same time, TotalEnergies is continuing the development, with its partner ENGIE, of the Masshylia project of green hydrogen production by water electrolysis with a capacity of 10,000 tons per year, to contribute to the decarbonization of both the biorefinery and local customers at the Fos-Berre industrial-port zone. The two partners are aiming to start up the first 20 MW electrolyser in 2029, subject to confirmation of European and French subsidies and the necessary public authorizations.
TotalEnergies and the decarbonization of its European refineries
TotalEnergies is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of producing, converting and supplying energy to its customers. One of the paths identified by the Company is to use green or low-carbon hydrogen to decarbonize its European refineries, a move that should help reduce its CO2 emissions by around three million tons a year by 2030.
