What is Marseille's new logistics & storage hub?

A new logistics and storage hub started operations in April 2017. Located in the heart of the Marseille Fos Port, the hub boasts a storage capacity of 1.3 million cubic meters and is capable of storing fuels (gasoline and diesel), heating oil and aviation fuels.

Where is totalenergies based in Marseille?

Located in the heart of the Marseille Fos Port, the hub boasts a storage capacity of 1.3 million cubic meters and is capable of storing fuels (gasoline and diesel), heating oil and aviation fuels. La Mède hosts TotalEnergies' second OLEUM training center.

Can renewable electricity be converted into gas for storage?

Based at the Innovex incubator in the Fos-sur-Mer industrial port area, it aims to transform renewable electricity into gas for storage. Surplus electricity will be converted into hydrogen by two electrolysers, as well as into synthetic methane thanks to a methanation reactor and a nearby industrial flue gas CO 2 capture unit.

Can a low-carbon energy project drive growth in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur?

La Mède has clearly set its sights on low-carbon energies that will drive growth for TotalEnergies and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The complex is an example of a successful industrial conversion project.

How sustainable is totalenergies for La mède?

100% of the oils purchased by TotalEnergies for La Mède meet the sustainability criteria set by the European Union.
