TotalEnergies Plans Green Hydrogen Import from Brazil for European Refineries

TotalEnergies is exploring the import of green hydrogen from a Brazilian project to supply its European refineries, which could mark a significant investment in renewable energy for the company. Meanwhile, Scotland's Grangemouth oil refinery, set to close this year, might transition into a hub for green chemicals and fuels, potentially creating up to 1,200 jobs in the future, although immediate job losses are a concern. Danish shipping companies are advocating for increased production of green fuels, emphasizing the urgent need for large volumes to achieve climate-neutral shipping by 2050. The world's first ammonia-powered vessel, Fortescue’s Green Pioneer, has arrived in London to promote the adoption of green fuels in international shipping. Additionally, Pakistan is positioned to capitalize on the global shift to green fuels by developing green refineries, which could help meet domestic demands and enable export capacity. This shift towards green refineries aligns with sustainable practices and aims to enhance energy efficiency and environmental standards.
