Integrating Climate into our Strategy - 31 Promoting Responsible Energy Use In addition to making a key contribution to achieving the 2°C scenario, energy efficiency drives operational performance. We continuously improve the energy efficiency of our facilities and develop products and services to help manufacturers and consumers optimize their energy use. Improving Our Own Energy Efficiency OFFSHORE For certain offshore projects, such as Martin Linge in the Norwegian North Sea, the facilities are all-electric. The power is generated onshore, then transported to the platform via a subsea cable. Unlike the gas turbines usually used, this innovation means that consumption matches the facility’s actual requirements. REFINERIES Since 2012, 30 energy efficiency projects have been rolled out at our various refineries. The €60 million invested has helped us to save roughly 60,000 tons of oil equivalent a year. The redesign of the distillation unit in Normandy in 2012, for example, improved its energy efficiency 22%. By making smart choices about equipment and innovative technologies right from the project design phase, we have cut our energy use 10% since 2005. By end-2016, we will have deployed energy management systems at all our main sites. These include: - Energy audits to assess the amount of primary energy consumed by each site and identify where energy efficiency gains can be made. - Energy improvement programs to reduce fuel and steam consumption by optimizing refinery operations. These programs also assess the potential installation of new equipment that maximizes heat transfer. -Upgrading facilities by replacing older equipment with more efficient or less energy-intensive equipment. - Preparing long-term investment plans for the sites. We are also pursuing ISO 50001 energy management certification. In 2015, our Leuna refinery obtained certification, as did several Marketing & Services sites: the Brunsbüttel bitumen plant in Germany and the Solaize research center, the Saint-Martin-d’Hères site and seven depots and 193 service stations in France. In the Exploration & Production segment, Total ABK in Abu Dhabi was certified in early 2016. At our exploration and production sites, we are stepping up our efforts by reducing the routine flaring of gas from our production activities.
