India: TotalEnergies signs 5-year LNG supply agreement with ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel

On May 20, 2021, TotalEnergies announced that it signed an agreement with ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel (AMNS) 1 for the supply of up to 500,000 tons of liquefied natural gas (LNG) per year until 2026.

The LNG will be sourced from TotalEnergies' global portfolio and offloaded either in Dahej or Hazira LNG Terminal, on the West Coast of India. AMNS expects to use the LNG to run its steel and power plants located in Hazira, Gujarat state.

This agreement strengthens TotalEnergies' relationship with AMNS and will contribute to the decarbonization of India's steel industry, which still relies heavily on coal.

Spain: TotalEnergies signs a 45 MW renewable corporate power purchase agreement with Merck2

On May 20, 2021, TotalEnergies and MSD, known as Merck & Co. signed a major renewable corporate power purchase agreement (CPPA) over a period of 10 years, with 90 GWh a year of clean energy produced by a 45 MW utility-scale solar power projects from TotalEnergies' portfolio in Spain, Castilla La Mancha region.

As part of its ambition to get to net zero (carbon neutrality) by 2050, together with society, TotalEnergies actively supports its customers and partners in their efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of their activities through their energy transition.

With a strong expertise in the development, construction and operation of renewable energy projects, TotalEnergies was chosen as a trusted partner to contribute to MSD's ambition to source 100% of its purchased electricity with renewables.

Air France-KLM, TotalEnergies, Groupe ADP and Airbus join forces to decarbonize air transportation and carried out the first long-haul flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel produced in France

On May 18, 2021, it was announced that Air France-KLM, TotalEnergies, Groupe ADP and Airbus joined forces to carry out the first long-haul flight powered by sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)3

1 AMNS India is a joint venture between ArcelorMittal (60%) and Nippon Steel (40%).

2 Also known as MSD (Merck & Co. Inc of Kenilworth, New Jersey in the US and Canada)

3 SAF is a blend of conventional aviation fuel (JET-A1) and biojet fuel made from waste and residue sourced from the circular economy (animal fat, used cooking oil, etc.). Biojet fuel has similar properties to JET-A1 and produces up to 90% fewer CO2 emissions over its lifecycle compared with the fossil equivalent.

produced in France. Air France Flight 342 took off from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport's Terminal 2E for Montreal with its tanks filled for the first time with sustainable aviation fuel produced in TotalEnergies' French plants.

The flight was a tangible result of the four groups' shared ambition to decarbonize air transportation and to develop a SAF supply chain in France, a prerequisite to the generalization of its use in French airports.

No modifications to storage and distribution infrastructure, aircraft or engines are required to incorporate biofuels. Their gradual introduction worldwide should significantly reduce CO2 emissions from air transportation, in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

The biofuel used for the flight was made from waste and residue sourced from the circular economy. TotalEnergies produced the SAF from used cooking oil at its La Mède biorefinery in southern France and at its Oudalle factory near Le Havre, without using any virgin plant-based oil.

This first 100% French SAF received ISCC-EU certification from the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification System, an independent organization that guarantees sustainability. The 16% blend on the flight avoided the emission of 20 tons of CO2.

By developing and supporting the first stage of a French SAF industry, Air France-KLM, TotalEnergies, ADP Group and Airbus are paving the way for France to drive innovation in the energy and environmental transition. French legislation calls for aircrafts to use at least 1% SAF by 2022 for all flights originating in France, ahead of the European ambition scheduled to gradually ramp up to 2% by 2025 and 5% by 2030, as part of the European Green Deal.

To meet these requirements, TotalEnergies also intends to produce SAF at its Grandpuits zero-crude platform near Paris starting in 2024.

The flight also illustrated the synergy of the different drivers for reducing aviation's environmental footprint, i.e., sustainable aviation fuel, latest-generation aircraft and electrification of ground operations. The Airbus A350 used for the flight consumes 25% less fuel than its predecessor. The aircraft was serviced by the first 100% all-electric refueling truck, developed in France with TotalEnergies expertise, and all of the ground support equipment used by Air France was fully electric powered.

Angola: TotalEnergies starts production from Zinia Phase 2, successful short-cycle development on Block 17

On May 6, 2021, TotalEnergies, operator of Block 17 in Angola, together with the Angolan National Oil, Gas and Biofuels Agency, announced the start of production from Zinia Phase 2 short-cycle project, connected to the existing Pazflor's Floating Production, Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO). The project includes the drilling of nine wells.

The development of this project was carried out according to schedule and for a CAPEX more than 10% below budget, representing a savings of $150 million.

Block 17 is operated by TotalEnergies with a 38% interest, alongside with Equinor (22.16%), ExxonMobil (19%), BP Exploration Angola Ltd (15.84%) and Sonangol P&P (5%). The contractor group operates four FPSOs in the main production areas of the block, namely Girassol, Dalia, Pazflor and CLOV.

Guinea confirm the remobilization and the planning of the Papua LNG project

On May 5, 2021, TotalEnergies announced that a meeting took place on May 3, 2021 between Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies, and a Delegation of Papua New Guinea (PNG) led

by the Deputy Prime Minister Samuel Basil, with the objective to review together the next steps for the development of the Papua LNG project.

After a year of delay because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of PNG and TotalEnergies as Operator were pleased to announce the remobilization of the project teams and of other required resources. The objective is to launch the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) in early 2022 and to prepare for the final investment decision in 2023. This positive development follows the signature and the reconfirmation of the Papua LNG Gas Agreement in 2019, the signature of the Fiscal Stability Agreement and the award of the License extension in February 2021.

Papua LNG project will target the production of the two main discoveries of Block PRL-15, Elk and Antelope, that were fully appraised until 2017. It is expected that the gas produced by these fields will be transported by a 320 km onshore/offshore pipeline to Caution Bay site in order to be liquefied in two trains to be built with a total capacity of 5.6 Mt/y that will be integrated to the existing PNG LNG facilities in Caution Bay.

TotalEnergies and PNG Authorities will cooperate to create significant in-country value and to implement the Papua LNG project in an exemplary manner and take into highest consideration the biodiversity and environmental stakes as well as the local communities' rights.

TotalEnergies operates the Elk and Antelope onshore fields and is the largest shareholder of the PRL-15 permit with a 31.1% interest, alongside partners ExxonMobil (28.7%) and Oil Search (17.7%), after the State back-in right of 22.5%.

South Korea: Daesan complex to develop its polymer capacity for durable applications

On May 5, 2021, TotalEnergies announced that the Hanwha Total Petrochemical (HTC) joint venture4 commissioned a new polypropylene line at the Daesan integrated refining and petrochemical complex in South Korea, adding a further 60% to its production capacity, which now totals 1.1 million tons per year. At the same time, the start-up of a fourth propane furnace is expected to increase ethylene production capacity by 10% to 1.5 million tons per year.

These projects were carried out safely and successfully, and were completed on time and on budget. They mark the culmination of investments totaling $1.3 billion, announced in 2017 and 2018, to expand production capacity at the Daesan complex. They also take advantage of abundant, cost-advantaged propane feedstock from the United States.

The new polypropylene line, with a capacity of 400,000 tons per year, is expected to enable Daesan to supply both the Korean market and export markets, particularly China. It will enable the manufacturing of high-value-added, durable goods for specialty applications such as underfloor heating pipes and automotive parts, helping reduce the weight of vehicles.

HTC has also launched a new polypropylene compound line5 at its Dongguan site in southern China, which will enable the joint venture to develop specific grades containing recycled polymers, in partnership with its customers, as HTC's contribution to TotalEnergies' ambition of producing 30% recycled polymers by 2030.

TotalEnergies realized France's first ship-to-containership LNG bunkering operation, after inaugural loading at Dunkirk LNG terminal

On May 3, 2021, TotalEnergies announced it realized the first ship-to-containership LNG bunkering operation in France. On April 30, 2021 the world's largest LNG bunker vessel in operation, TotalEnergies' Gas Agility¸ completed the refuelling of the world's largest containership powered by LNG, the CMA CGM JACQUES SAADE, at the Port of Dunkirk with around 16,400m3 of LNG.

4 A 50-50 joint venture between TotalEnergies and Hanwha.

5 Polypropylene compounds are used in the automotive industry (interiors, bumpers and technical parts), in the electrical and electronics industry and in household appliances.

This inaugural operation also marked Dunkerque LNG terminal's first loading of a small-scale LNG vessel and the Terminal des Flandres' first LNG bunkering operation with simultaneous cargo operations.

Importantly, it underscored the close cooperation across all partners of the 'Green Loop' project consortium, which is comprised of TotalEnergies, the Dunkerque LNG terminal, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines (MOL) and CMA CGM. Co-financed by the European Union under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF) - Transport Sector, the overall project objective is to promote the decarbonization of maritime transport by deploying a scale-up LNG bunkering solution in Northern Europe.

Key investments, critical to enable this operation, were made within the framework of this project to boost the Dunkerque LNG terminal's capabilities in offering small-scale LNG services. Amongst various developments, an existing terminal jetty was adapted to allow the provision of LNG loading to LNG bunkering vessels. Additionally, leveraging the expertise and experience of the consortium partners and the involvement of the Port of Dunkirk, all relevant LNG loading and bunkering procedures were developed in compliance with safety regulations.

Finally, this successful operation was an added testament to the Gas Agility's operational excellence. Since commencing operations in November 2020, the LNG bunker vessel has delivered more than 160,000 m3 of LNG bunker in Rotterdam where she is based. She is designed to serve a broad range of vessels from various segments, including CMA CGM's 23 000 TEUs LNG-fuelled container ships.

By 2022, the Gas Agility's sistership, another 18,600 m3 newbuild LNG bunker vessel, is expected to join TotalEnergies' LNG bunker fleet to serve the Mediterranean region. Simultaneously, TotalEnergies' will share the use of a third bunker vessel in Singapore.
