<p><strong>As renewable, low-carbon resources, bioenergies have a vital contribution to make in reducing emissions, particularly in transportation. Bioenergies are therefore a perfect fit with our ambition to become the responsible energy major. As a pioneer in biofuels for more than 20 years as well as a bioplastics producer, we have a role in the future of the bioenergies sector and the development of all biomass conversion pathways.</strong></p><h2><span class="grey-red-title">Bioenergies: </span><span class="strong-red">Helping to Reconcile Growth and Climate Change</span></h2><div><p>Biomass encompasses all organic material derived from plants, animals and microbes.<br>Biomass can be converted to produce biofuels and bioplastics, and thereby help meet three major challenges.</p></div><h3><span class="title-level-3">Meeting the energy needs of a growing world population</span></h3><div><p>The increase in global energy needs goes hand in hand with global population growth and economic and social development. In the transportation sector, energy needs are increasing by 31% per year. Demand for plastics is growing by 3% annually.</p></div><h3><span class="title-level-3">Limiting global warming</span></h3><div><p>According to the 2°C scenario put forward by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world economy must undertake major changes in order to limit energy-related carbon emissions. One of the drivers identified to achieve this shift is an increase in the share of renewable energies, particularly through the development of biofuels. </p><p>More than 20% of worldwide CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are attributable to transportation. Biofuels, which lower carbon dioxide emissions by at least 50% compared to fossil fuels, are key to reducing this sector’s environmental footprint. Today, biomass represents the only renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the production of liquid fuels, on which transportation still largely depends. A significant amount of legislation has been passed to encourage and channel the development of biofuels. In Europe, for example, 14% of transportation fuel must come from renewable sources by 2030.</p><p>Also offering interesting prospects for reducing the environmental footprint is the development of bioplastics. Polylactic acid (PLA) polymers, for example, are biodegradable and less carbon-intensive than conventional polymers.</p></div><h3><span class="title-level-3">Adapting to the changing expectations of customers and society</span></h3><div><p>Conscious of the urgency of combating climate change and sensitive to the issue of sustainable development, our customers are adapting their behavior and expect solutions with a lower environmental impact, including biofuels and bioplastics.</p></div> <div data-langcode="en" data-entity-type="block_content" data-entity-uuid="4c8392b1-11c9-45a2-9b94-3cbb8da95f63" data-embed-button="exergue" data-entity-embed-display="view_mode:block_content.embedded" data-entity-embed-display-settings="[]" class="embedded-entity"> <blockquote id="6878" entity-id="6878" entity-type="block" class="block block-verbatim"> <div class="top-block"> <div class="verbatim-img"> <div class="image"> <img loading="lazy" title="© TotalEnergies" src="/sites/g/files/nytnzq121/files/styles/120x120/public/thumbnails/image/christophe_vuillez.jpg?h=e78a6805&itok=tys0f_Q7" width="120" height="120" alt="Christophe Vuillez" typeof="foaf:Image"> </div> </div> <div class="description-long verbatim-description">Our ambition is to position TotalEnergies as a leader in biofuels by developing industrial and commercial expertise in biomass conversion.

One of the largest facilities of its kind in Europe, the biorefinery has a capacity of 500,000 tonnes of HVO-type biofuels per year, in order to continue to meet growing demand.</p><ul class="list-arrow"><li><a href="https://www.total.com/en/energy-expertise/projects/bioenergies/la-mede-a-forward-looking-facility" target="_blank">Learn more about La Mède: France’s first world-class biorefinery</a></li><li><a href="https://www.total.com/media/news/news/energy-transition-total-investing-more-eu500-million-convert-its-grandpuits" target="_blank">Find out more about Grandpuits: a zero oil platform manufacturing biofuels and bioplastics</a></li></ul><p>On the <strong>bioplastics</strong> market, we are developing innovative products that meet the challenges of sustainable development and enable our customers to embrace more conscientious consumption. We are focusing particularly on polylactic acid (PLA), a polymer produced from sugar and starch crops with an environmental footprint one third that of conventional polymers. PLA is currently used mainly in food packaging and textiles as well as in the medical, electronic and automotive industries, and is one of the first renewable polymers able to compete with existing polymers in terms of performance. </p><p>In December 2018, together with our partner Corbion, we started up a world-class PLA plant with a capacity of 75,000 metric tons per year.
