TotalEnergies MTA
Portrait of a Global Company

About this book:

TotalEnergies stands as one of the world's leading integrated energy companies, a true supermajor with a history spanning nearly a century. This book provides a comprehensive portrait of the company's evolution, from its founding in 1924 as Compagnie Française des Pétroles (CFP) to its growth into a global powerhouse through strategic expansion and landmark mergers like TotalFinaElf. Operating across approximately 120 countries, its legacy business encompasses the complex world of oil and gas exploration, production, refining, and global distribution through a vast network covering upstream, downstream, and sophisticated trading operations.

Today, TotalEnergies is actively navigating the profound shift towards a lower-carbon future. Reflected in its 2021 rebranding, the company is strategically transforming into a multi-energy entity. Alongside its enduring presence in hydrocarbons, particularly focusing on the crucial role of Integrated LNG, TotalEnergies is making substantial investments to build a world-class position in renewable electricity generation (solar, wind, storage) and other low-carbon molecules like biofuels and hydrogen. This dual strategy aims to leverage the strength of its traditional business to fund ambitious growth in new energies, positioning TotalEnergies at the forefront of the 21st-century energy transition, balancing its rich legacy with the imperative for transformation.
