TotalEnergies and Air Liquide to produce low-carbon hydrogen
Firms will work together to install new unit to produce hydrogen at the Grandpuits oil platform
TotalEnergies and industrial gases company Air Liquide are working together to produce low-carbon hydrogen at the French energy firm’s Grandpuits oil platform. Air Liquide will invest more than €130mn ($133mn) in the construction and operation of a new unit producing 20,000t/yr of hydrogen at the platform. This unit will use residual biogas from the Grandpuits biorefinery and feed it into a steam methane reformer (SMR) to make hydrogen, displacing natural gas normally used in the process. The unit will also capture 110,000t/yr of CO₂ from the SMR process for reuse in food and industrial applications. TotalEnergies will then buy the hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under a
