TotalEnergies
Climate change requires the fast deployment of global solutions for reducing CO2 emissions. At the same time high level research and development is needed to usher in the technologies needed to achieve the aim of carbon neutrality by 2050. TotalEnergies is deploying and developing different solutions for carbon capture, and supporting the R&D that will facilitate the technologies of the future.
TotalEnergies is a global multi-energy company that produces and markets energies: oil and biofuels, natural gas and green gases, renewables and electricity. TotalEnergies is transforming their business to provide tangible, sustainable solutions to the dual challenge of more energy for people, and less emissions for the planet.
R&D is an essential part of this goal, and TotalEnergies is preparing the future by mobilizing more than 4000 researchers. To support its strategy, the Company has devoted in 2022 over $1 billion to R&D and digitalization. More than 70% goes to new energies and reducing carbon footprint.
The technology behind direct air capture relies on materials called metal-organic frameworks - molecular legos which act like a “sponge” which adsorbs CO2 from flue gas. The behavior of such materials on the molecular level is extremely challenging to model with conventional computational techniques. This is why TotalEnergies is also working on disruptive computational methodologies to understand molecular properties of carbon capture.
One such disruptive technology is Quantum computing – the raw computational power of quantum computers is such that the kinds of modelling needed to design and optimise carbon capture methods would be vastly quicker, and researchers at TotalEnergies are already working on the systems that would underlie this work. A recent study by the Quantum Computing team has demonstrated the ability of quantum computers to model the metal-organic frameworks with very high precision.
This is just one of the possible applications of quantum computing, and the many other technologies TotalEnergies are facilitating research into, that will help the world achieve its carbon neutral aims.
