YOUR QUESTIONS
At Total, our priority is to keep you informed through listening and dialog on a daily basis. These questions are your questions.
Diesel vehicle sales continue to drop in Europe, what are the potential consequences for Total?
Europe today does not produce enough diesel to meet demand and has to import, despite numerous investments made by European refiners to maximize diesel production. It will take time before the effects of the recent drop in diesel vehicle sales to
the benefit of gasoline-powered vehicles on the diesel consumption of the entire car fleet, become apparent. Moreover this trend mostly concerns light vehicles, whereas the demand for diesel continues to rise in the goods transportation (heavy
goods vehicles and maritime transportation) and aviation sectors. The situation in Europe will therefore be a lack of diesel and an excess of gasoline for the foreseeable future.
Are your investments in renewables: just for show?
No, they are not just for show. Total integrates climate into its strategy and develops sizeable and profitable activity in low-carbon electricity, produced using natural gas and renewables. The Group invests 1.5 to 2 billion dollars per year in this
sector. Low-carbon electricity should represent 15 to 20% of the Total energy mix in 2040. The Group relies on its affiliates to boost its commitment to renewable energies. Total Quadran for example, is already operating a portfolio of 213 on
land wind turbine, solar, hydroelectrical and biogas assets in France. In Asia-Pacific, Africa and Latin America, Total Eren (in which Total holds almost a 30% interest) has a set of diversified assets including wind, solar and hydraulic energy.
Total Solar International has just announced the construction of the first large-scale solar power plant in Qatar and its entry into the Spanish solar energy market. In India, Total has extended its partnership with Adani to renewables (cf. Latest
News page). The Group is well on track to reach its objective of 25 GW of installed power generation capacity from renewable sources by 2025.
