Energy giant TotalEnergies and French civil engineering firm Colas announced a renewed three-year partnership aimed at advancing the decarbonization of the construction sector in France and internationally.
Under the partnership, TotalEnergies and Colas are developing solutions around three main areas, including scaling up the deployment of multi-energy solutions at construction sites such as renewable biofuels such and battery systems to replace conventional generators, installing charging infrastructure for trucks, machinery and electric construction site equipment, and developing solar power facilities on Colas-owned land to produce renewable energy and improve site self-sufficiency.
Bernard Pinatel, President of Marketing and Services at TotalEnergies, said:
“We are looking forward to continuing this partnership with Colas. Our multi-energy offers provide practical and innovative low-carbon solutions to support our customers in decarbonizing their activities.”
TotalEnergies will contribute through its multi-energy approach, offering technologies and expertise designed to help customers lower their carbon footprint. This adds to the company’s own decarbonization efforts, as it aims to ensure a 25% reduction in the carbon intensity of its products by 2030 compared with 2015 levels.
These measures also support Colas’s environmental roadmap, which aims to cut its direct greenhouse gas emissions by 46.5% by 2030.
Pierre Vanstoflegatte, CEO of Colas, said:
“The renewal of our partnership with TotalEnergies illustrates our determination to speed up the decarbonization of our business. Innovative multi-energy solutions and the development of our land resources will consolidate the position of the Colas Group as a low-carbon worksite operator serving its customers.”
