TotalEnergies has a clear ambition to become a worldclass player in the energy transition, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, together with society. This ambition is driven by a commitment to providing affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy solutions to meet the growing global demand while reducing the environmental impact.

The Papua LNG project aligns perfectly with this ambition. Together with our international partners, ExxonMobil, Santos and EneosXplora, we are dedicated to make this Project a flagship in terms of Sustainable development, limiting Project’s GHG and methane emissions, providing significant social and economic impact to the Communities, and making a net positive contribution to Biodiversity in Country.

To that end, we are aligned with the highest international standards, such as the International Finance Corporation’s (IFC) Performance Standards or the Ecuador Principles.

Moreover, the project is committed to delivering tangible benefits to the local communities. This includes creating job opportunities, supporting local businesses, and investing in community development programs such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure. By fostering strong partnerships with local stakeholders, the Papua LNG project ensures that the benefits of the project are shared widely, contributing to the overall wellbeing and prosperity of the communities involved. This year, while significantly progressing on our way to the Final Investment Decision, we have continued our health support to the communities, reinforced the network of basic infrastructure (water tanks, communication tower, community houses), provided new classroom and educational support over the Project Area of Influence (PAoI). Environmental studies and actions regarding Biodiversity have also been conducted, demonstrating our ongoing efforts to preserve the natural environment.
