Adani and TotalEnergies have entered a new partnership to jointly create the world's largest green H₂ ecosystem. In this strategic alliance, TotalEnergies will acquire 25% minority interest in Adani New Industries Ltd (ANIL) from Adani Enterprises Ltd (AEL).

The new partnership, centered on green H₂, is expected to transform the energy landscape both in India and globally. Both Adani and TotalEnergies are pioneers in energy transition and clean energy adoption, and this joint energy platform further strengthens the public ESG commitments made by both companies.

ANIL's ambition is to invest over $50 B over the next 10 years in green H₂ and associated ecosystem. In the initial phase, ANIL will develop green H₂ production capacity of 1 MMtpy before 2030.

"The strategic value of the Adani-TotalEnergies relationship is immense at both the business level and the ambition level," said Mr. Gautam Adani, Chairman, Adani Group. "In our journey to become the largest green H₂ player in the world, the partnership with TotalEnergies adds several dimensions that include R&D, market reach and an understanding of the end consumer. This fundamentally allows us to shape market demand. This is why I find the continued extension of our partnership to hold such great value. Our confidence in our ability to produce the world's least expensive electron is what will drive our ability to produce the world's least expensive green H₂. This partnership will open up a number of exciting downstream pathways."

"TotalEnergies' entry into ANIL is a major milestone in implementing our renewable and low carbon H₂ strategy, where we want to not only decarbonize the H₂ used in our European refineries by 2030, but also pioneer the mass production of green H₂ to meet demand, as the market will take off by the end of this decade," said Mr. Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies. "We are also very pleased with this agreement, which further strengthens our alliance with the Adani Group in India and contributes to the valorization of India's abundant low-cost renewable power potential. This future production capacity of 1 MMtpy of green H₂ will be a major step in increasing TotalEnergies' share of new decarbonized molecules including biofuels, biogas, H₂, and e-fuels to 25% of its energy production and sales by 2050."

This partnership builds on the exceptional synergies between the two platforms. While Adani will bring its deep knowledge of the Indian market, rapid execution capabilities, operations excellence and capital management philosophy to the partnership, TotalEnergies will bring its deep understanding of the global and European market, credit enhancement and financial strength to lower the financing costs, and expertise in underlying technologies. The complementary strengths of the partners will help ANIL deliver the largest green H₂ ecosystem in the world, which, in turn, will deliver the lowest cost of green H₂ to the consumer and help accelerate the global energy transition.

ANIL aims to be the largest fully integrated green H₂ player in the world, with presence across the entire value chain, from the manufacturing of renewables and green H₂ equipment (solar panels, wind turbines, electrolyzers, etc.), to large scale generation of green H₂, to downstream facilities producing green H₂ derivatives.

With this investment in ANIL, the strategic alliance between the Adani Portfolio and TotalEnergies now covers LNG terminals, the gas utility business, renewables business and green H₂ production. The partnership helps India in its quest to build the fundamental pillars of economic sustainability by driving decarbonization of industry, power generation, mobility, and agriculture thereby mitigating climate change, and ensuring energy independence.
