Get to know our project
“Green Ammonia and Hydrogen Production Project – H2 Magallanes”
Explore this initiative, which promotes hydrogen and green ammonia production. From Magallanes, we will take a step forward decarbonizing the planet.
This project involves an ammonia production plant that will operate using nitrogen captured from the air and green hydrogen produced through wind energy and desalinated, demineralized seawater. The resulting product will be exported by sea from Magallanes to various parts of the world, actively contributing to the reduction of global carbon emissions and supporting the global transition towards cleaner and more sustainable energy.
Our focus on sustainability
TotalEnergies H2 has placed the sustainable development of the project, in all its dimensions, at the center of our strategy, in order to contribute to the well-being of the community, as well as actively working on each of its sustainability pillars, with the objective of making its development a motor for progress that will benefit as many people as possible, and therefore becoming a factor of positive change for the community located nearby the project.
When developing a new project, it is necessary to conduct environmental baseline studies and environmental impact assessments, whether cumulative or synergistic, in the short, medium, and long term of the project. For this reason, we are carrying out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in accordance with the applicable national environmental regulations as required by the Environmental Impact Assessment System (SEIA), while also considering international standards for the project’s development and financing.
Since 2021, we have been carrying out different environmental baselines, in order to categorize each of the components in a spatial and temporal manner, to make an adequate identification, prediction and evaluation of the environmental impact that the project may cause during its different phases. We have even used radar technology for specific studies on avifauna, generating a new standard for development and environmental assessment for the industry in the country, allowing us to pinpoint the impacts of the project on local birds.
Transparency is an essential principle of action while building a relationship based on trust with stakeholders and enables a path of continuous improvement. To this end, we are planning to implement a standardized International reporting framework for non-financial information, in order to increase transparency and accountability of the project’s economic, environmental and social performance, providing all companies and organizations with a comprehensive sustainability reporting framework that is widely used around the World.
Communal relationship and local economy development
Our project could have a significant effect on the community and will directly or indirectly affect a large number of stakeholders. The growing expectations of the project and the industry raise legitimate questions about our strategy, how we implement it and the impact it may have. We strongly believe that we need to establish a dialogue between the interested parties and strive to provide honest and useful answers to the questions we are being asked concerning what we do.
We firmly believe in the need for dialogue and we strive to provide honest and useful answers to the questions that are presented to us about what we do. This is why we are responsible for participating in various organizations that facilitate such dialogue, where communities have a space to express their doubts prior to the submission of our Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to the EIA System. We disseminate our process through local media and our own social networks.
Dialogue and commitment will allow us to build social and economic local development together, and will help us meeting the needs of the nearby communities, seeking to work jointly to close the different gaps and fulfill one of the main standpoints of the company regarding our contribution made in order to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while considering the highest international and national standards.
