AlwaysFree: Air Liquide, TotalEnergies to Develop Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production

Air Liquide and TotalEnergies are collaborating to develop low-carbon hydrogen production at TotalEnergies’ Normandy platform in France.

In the project, Air Liquide will supply low-carbon hydrogen, from its network in Normandy and the implementation of a large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage solution (CCS), to TotalEnergies. It will operate TotalEnergies’ Normandy site which produces 255 tons of hydrogen per day.

The two will also establish development studies to deploy a carbon capture and storage (CCS) project to decarbonize the hydrogen produced in this unit at the Normandy platform. Air Liquide will deal with the capturing of the CO2 while TotalEnergies will manage the transportation and storage of the captured CO2, with possible routes of the Northern Lights (Norway) and Aramis (Netherlands) CCS projects being developed in the North Sea.

In the long term, the project is set to eliminate 650,000 tpa of CO2 from the unit’s hydrogen output by 2030.
