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.

TotalEnergies will then buy the hydrogen to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under a
