TotalEnergies calls for faster grid connections and long-term electricity contracts

9 Oct 2025
Topic — EU action plan to increase electrification and reduce fossil fuel dependence across sectors.
Message — TotalEnergies requests public guarantees to reduce risk in long-term corporate power purchase agreements, faster grid connections through a first ready first served model, and support for gas turbines and storage to provide flexibility. They advocate for subsidies and streamlined permitting for electric vehicles and heat pumps.12345
Why — This would lower investment risk and give them long-term price certainty for electricity supply.6

TotalEnergies urges EU to ease fertilizer rules for digestate products

18 Sept 2025
Topic — Evaluation of EU regulation on fertilizing products after 2022 implementation.
Message — The company requests nutrient thresholds be expressed on a dry matter basis instead of fresh matter, or creation of a new category for raw digestate without minimum NPK thresholds. They want agri-food sludges included in allowed component materials and clear EU targets for local nutrient valorisation.1234
Why — This would enable local valorisation of their digestate within 50km of production sites.567

TotalEnergies Calls for Fast-Track Permits and SAF Market Protection

8 Jul 2025
Topic — EU regulation to accelerate industrial decarbonization in energy-intensive sectors.
Message — TotalEnergies requests faster permitting with maximum two-year timelines, inclusion of petrochemicals as priority sectors, and recognition of biorefinery conversions as decarbonization projects. They seek simplified procedures for existing asset modifications and stricter limits on administrative appeals.123
Why — This would speed up their refinery-to-biorefinery conversions and reduce permitting delays for petrochemical decarbonization investments.456
Impact — Environmental groups lose appeal rights through stricter limits on challenging industrial permits.7

TotalEnergies Urges More Flexibility in EU Innovation Fund Process

8 Jul 2025
Topic — Evaluation of EU Innovation Fund operations supporting industrial decarbonization projects 2020-2024.
Message — TotalEnergies requests more flexibility in selection criteria, particularly for Financial Close timelines and project milestones. They seek to maintain grant disbursement for feasibility studies even without Financial Close, implement conditional extensions when modifications are needed, and strengthen synergies between EU funding instruments. The company also urges increasing the share of ETS revenues allocated to the Innovation Fund.12345
Why — This would reduce compliance burdens and financial risks for their large-scale decarbonization projects.67
Impact — Smaller projects lose funding opportunities if more resources concentrate on large industrial players.8

TotalEnergies Seeks Extended Timeline and Transparency on EU Carbon Storage Obligations

16 Apr 2025
Topic — Regulation on oil and gas producers' contributions to EU's 2030 CO2 injection capacity target.
Message — TotalEnergies requests a six-month extension to submit compliance plans (from June to December 2025), transparency on production data used to calculate obligations, and mandatory consultation with obligated entities before finalizing contributions. They also seek to exclude commercially sensitive information from public reporting and allow corporate groups to consolidate contributions across EU storage sites.1234
Why — This would give them more time to prepare compliance plans and protect commercially sensitive customer information from disclosure.56
Impact — The public loses transparency about which CO2 sources companies plan to store and their commercial agreements.78

TotalEnergies Seeks Wider Innovation Fund Eligibility and Flexible Aid Stacking

7 Aug 2023
Topic — EU Innovation Fund operational changes including competitive bidding for climate project subsidies.
Message — TotalEnergies requests broader eligibility including energy infrastructure and less mature technologies like floating solar. They want medium-scale projects redefined with higher thresholds and the ability to combine Innovation Fund support with other EU and national funding programs.1234
Why — This would make more of their renewable portfolio eligible and enable project financing.567
Impact — Competitors without existing aid packages lose advantage in competitive bidding process.8

TotalEnergies Calls for Faster Implementation of Biofuel Feedstock Rules

22 Dec 2022
Topic — EU directive expanding the list of sustainable feedstocks for biofuel production.
Message — The company requests a regulation instead of a directive to ensure faster, unified application across Member States. They want inclusion of additional sustainable feedstocks like category 3 animal fats and technical corn oil, and support increasing the Annex IX-B cap based on new feedstock volumes.123
Why — This would give them clearer visibility on recognized feedstocks and encourage investment in biofuel facilities.4

Total welcomes the initiative of the Commission to update the Directive and Regulation on the natural gas market and transmission networks towards the deployment of hydrogen and biogas/biomethane, while maintaining the necessary infrastructure for natural gas to play its essential role in the energy transition as a quick win in replacing coal for power generation, liquid fuels for heavy road and maritime transport and as a natural ally for the intermittent renewable electricity. We ask the Commission to consider the following recommendations: Hydrogen infrastructure and markets Scaling up clean hydrogen production will demonstrate the EU’s commitment to decarbonisation. The EU’s support should cover all forms of renewable and decarbonised hydrogen, ensuring the competitiveness of Europe’s industrial sector and securing high-quality jobs. • Hydrogen from natural gas coupled with CCS offers a cost-effective way to reduce GHG emissions and will be needed to build scale for the development of renewable hydrogen. This is also valid for hydrogen produced from biogas or from low carbon electricity. • Build scale through funding and financial incentives according to projects’ decarbonization potential, to accelerate the learning curve and significantly decrease production cost. • Incentivise market development, including through setting EU-wide targets for injection of hydrogen in the natural gas grid. • Regulate and incentivize investments in hydrogen infrastructure. Access of renewable and low-carbon gases to the infrastructure and market Total emphasizes the central role of gas in the transition towards climate neutrality by 2050. Capitalizing on the existing gas infrastructure and progressively integrating renewable and low-carbon gases will allow EU citizens to benefit from a cleaner, secure and affordable energy system with a growing share of renewable electricity. • Establish a comprehensive and technologically neutral terminology of all renewable and low-carbon gases, based on life cycle GHG emissions. • Impose a binding 2030 EU target to reduce the GHG intensity of gas consumed in the EU. • Impose a binding 2030 EU target of renewable gas (by energy content) in the natural gas grid. • For the two targets above, Eurogas proposes an intensity reduction of at least 20% compared to 2018 and a binding target of at least 11% of renewable gas. Integrated energy market • We support a robust common EU-wide system of Guarantees of Origin for renewable and low-carbon gas and clean hydrogen. • EU and national legislations should be adjusted to use these certificates to: o contribute to the realization of mobility objectives o valorise clean hydrogen in natural gas grids for the production of RFNBO o valorise renewable and low-carbon gas in natural gas grids as zero emission fuels for ETS obligations Methane emissions • Natural gas offers significant advantages to reduce GHG emissions: it emits half the GHG of coal in power generation and is a natural partner to renewable energies. To preserve these advantages, we must strictly control methane emissions, including for biogas/biomethane production. • We fully support emission reduction initiatives such as the OGMP2.0. Total will contribute to the Commission’s consultation on new rules to prevent methane leakage in the energy sector. Various • We ask to eliminate the uncertainty in the ETS Directive about the treatment of biogas as raw material. • The rules to consider a zero emission factor of biogas used for combustion are clear with direct reference to the biomass criteria of RED II regulation. • For the use of biogas as raw material, there should be confirmation whether any RED II criteria need to be met. • In the development of dedicated hydrogen pipeline networks, we ask to consider possible synergies between H2 and CO2 infrastructure. This document is a short version of the attached complete response.

TotalEnergies urges shift from energy consumption caps to carbon emission targets

21 Sept 2020
Topic — Review of EU Energy Efficiency Directive to support higher 2030 climate ambitions.
Message — The organization requests replacing the energy consumption cap with a carbon emissions cap by 2030. They argue that absolute energy targets could hinder technologies needed for hard-to-decarbonize sectors, renewable energy storage, and industrial relocation to Europe.123
Why — This would enable them to scale up energy-intensive clean technologies without regulatory barriers.45
Impact — Environmental groups lose absolute limits on total energy consumption growth in the EU.67
