NVIDIA launches Jetson Thor robotics computers for physical AI systems
PARIS - TotalEnergies (EPA:TTEF) SE is advancing with the conversion of its Grandpuits refinery into a zero-crude platform, a project that underscores the company’s shift towards sustainable energy production. The company has confirmed that the complex operation, which is currently in a critical phase, involves over 1,200 workers and is set to maintain 250 jobs at the site post-conversion.
The refinery’s transformation includes the construction of a biorefinery aimed at producing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) and the launch of France’s first advanced plastics recycling unit utilizing a novel technology. The latter is expected to generate 10,000 tons of pyrolysis oil from recycled plastic annually. By the beginning of 2026, the site is projected to produce up to 230,000 tons of SAF each year.
This initiative is part of TotalEnergies’ broader strategy to pivot from traditional crude oil towards more sustainable energy sources. The company, which operates in approximately 120 countries and employs more than 100,000 people, focuses on providing energy that is reliable, affordable, and sustainable.
While some projects initially slated for the second phase of the Grandpuits conversion, specifically those related to biogas and mechanical recycling, have been suspended, the employees intended for these projects have agreed to support the first two significant ventures.
The press release statement emphasizes TotalEnergies’ commitment to fulfilling its promises made at the start of the project in 2020 and to its broader strategy of sustainability in its operations and projects. The information provided is based on a press release statement from TotalEnergies SE.
