BofA warns Fed risks policy mistake with early rate cuts
PARIS - TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) has secured a 15-year agreement with Quatra to supply 60,000 tons of European used cooking oil annually to its biorefineries beginning in 2026, according to a company press release statement.
The agreement aims to provide feedstock for TotalEnergies’ production of biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). Quatra, described as the European market leader in used cooking oil collection and recycling, will gather the oil from restaurants, restaurant chains and industry across France and Europe.
Under the arrangement, the collected oil will be filtered at Quatra facilities before being delivered to TotalEnergies’ biorefineries in France. TotalEnergies has converted its La Mède and Grandpuits refineries into biorefineries to produce biofuels.
The La Mède facility, operational since 2019, has an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of biofuel and is the only producer of HVO biodiesel in France. It will begin producing sustainable aviation fuel for southern French airports this year.
The Grandpuits site, scheduled for commissioning in 2026, is being converted into a zero-crude complex with a biorefinery capable of producing 230,000 tons of sustainable aviation fuel annually.
Valérie Goff, Senior Vice President of Renewable Fuels & Chemicals at TotalEnergies, stated that the agreement helps secure necessary feedstock for biofuel production, which is one of the company’s strategic goals.
Pol Van Pollaert, Co-CEO of Quatra, noted that the partnership enables his company to focus on efficient collection of used cooking oil across France while TotalEnergies converts the resource into biofuel.
