TotalEnergies and Water: Taking Steps to Preserve a Vital Resource

TotalEnergies and water

At Total Energies, we are harnessing our full range of expertise to minimize the impact of our operations on water resources, everywhere we operate, and across the entire lifecycle of our facilities and products.

Worldwide

• Freshwater represents only 3% of all water on Earth

Today :

• 2 billion people are impacted by water stress
• 80% of wastewater is released into waterways without proper treatment.

At TotalEnergies

101 million cubic meters : the volume of freshwater (salinity below 2 g/l) withdrawn by TotalEnergies in 2021 (excluding cooling water used in open-loop systems)

Freshwater withdrawals by business segment:

• RC: 86%
• GRP: 7%
• EP: 6%
• M&S: 1%

54% of this volume was withdrawn from areas of water stress based on the definition of the World Resources Institute. The demand for water for human activities such as agriculture, industry and household use, is greater than 40% of available supply. This is mainly the case in highly populated urban areas, for example in Northern Europe.

Company water discharges quality

Average hydrocarbon content in 2021:

• For offshore sites: 13,7 mg/l
• For onshore site: 2,6 mg/l

2030 water discharges quality target

• For offshore sites: inferior 30 mg/l
• For onshore sites: inferior 1 mg/l

Sites currently in line with 2030 target

• Offshore sites: 92%
