Global energy giant TotalEnergies has unveiled its Sustainability & Climate – 2026 Progress Report, highlighting significant strides in emissions reduction and the implementation of its 2025 transition strategy.
The report supplements the Company’s upcoming sustainability disclosures in the Universal Registration Document under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).
In its core Oil & Gas segment, TotalEnergies emphasized continued investment in low-emissions, low-breakeven projects that deliver competitive production while cutting carbon intensity.
“Operated methane emissions (100%) have been reduced in 2025 by 65% compared to 2020, the Company exceeding its reduction target of 60%, ahead of its trajectory to reach a 80% reduction by 2030,” the report states.
Scope 1+2 emissions for operated assets totaled 33.1 Mt in 2025, down from 46 Mt in 2015, surpassing the initial target of 37 Mt for the year. Greenhouse gas emissions from operated oil & gas facilities dropped 38% versus 2015, while new projects in Brazil and the United States helped push average emissions intensity below 16 kg CO₂e/boe, setting a new benchmark for future projects.
The Company’s second growth pillar, Integrated Power, also showed progress. Net electricity production reached 48 TWh in 2025, roughly 10% of hydrocarbon output. This contributed to an 18.6% reduction in lifecycle carbon intensity of energy products sold compared with 2015, exceeding the target of –17%.
“These results underscore once again the robustness of the Company’s integrated multi‑energy model and confirm the relevance of a strategy designed to combine growth in the energy supply, competitiveness, and emissions reduction,” the report notes.
