“In France, TotalEnergies has a renewable portfolio of over 2GW, preventing the emission into the atmosphere of 800,000 tons of CO₂ every year. That is a persuasive argument for our customers.”

This contract builds upon an existing partnership between the two companies that began in June 2023 with an agreement for Saint-Gobain to purchase biomethane from TotalEnergies’ BioBéarn facility.

The new PPA is a continuation of TotalEnergies’ strategy to forge similar agreements with other major corporations like Air Liquide, Amazon, LyondellBasell, Merck, Microsoft, Orange and Sasol.

Saint-Gobain Group energy purchasing director Swaroop Srinath said: “Saint-Gobain is committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Realising this ambition involves decarbonising our production processes.

“This contract signed with TotalEnergies allows the Group to take a further step toward this goal with a reliable and continuous supply of renewable electricity for our industrial sites.

“With this PPA, combined with others signed by the Group in France, 30% of the electricity will be from renewable sources in France by 2027.”

Last December, TotalEnergies announced plans to construct a hybrid renewable energy project in South Africa.
