In this way, Total intends to contribute to the Paris Agreement’s carbon neutrality objective for the second half of the century. The global energy mix will change Government incentives will play To get there, the Group has defined in the drive towards a carbon-neutral a critical role in supporting these % a number of interim milestones society.

Less than that we jointly achieve neutrality by 2050, some 10 billion people But we won’t be able to do with our customers by working with Lastly, at the global level, we will worldwide will need access to energy, that alone.
