Franciaország-based energy company TotalEnergies has published its biodiversity implementation strategy and Environmental, Safety and Health Impact Assessment (ESHIA) for the Artic LNG 2 project, in line with its commitment to engage with society and be transparent about fenntarthatósági kérdések.

The company, which also makes the Total range of quality lubricants and metalworking fluids, has a 21.64% indirect and direct stake in the Northern Russian project. The construction of three liquefied natural gas (LNG) trains is currently in progress, and when completed, each will have a nominal capacity of 6.6 million tons per annum. This will help Asian countries reduce their dependence on coal-based power generation to meet their growing energy needs and reduce their emissions.

TotalEnergies’ CEO and Chairman, Patrick Pouyanné, said in a press release that as one of the energy transition’s prominent players:

“TotalEnergies puts sustainable development in all its dimensions at the heart of its projects and operations to contribute to the well-being of people. This is why we have pledged to contribute to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including those related to the conservation of biodiversity.”

Pouyanné hozzátette: érthető, hogy az ilyen projektek magas elvárásokat támasztanak a biológiai sokféleség és a környezet védelmével kapcsolatban, és hogy a vállalat nagyon komolyan veszi a felelősségét.

The CEO said TotalEnergies and its partners were leveraging considerable resources to guarantee their exemplary implementation and operation. For example, gravity-based structures (GBS) anchored on the river Ob’s banks will host the trains to reduce the environmental footprint.
