TotalEnergies SE, a French energy company, has paused its $4.4 billion offshore wind farm project near the New York-New Jersey coastline following Donald Trump's election victory, citing potential policy shifts under his administration. The project, part of a larger $4.37 billion investment in the New York Bight, is in its early stages, with leasing rights recently obtained. The decision reflects concerns over Trump's opposition to offshore wind projects, although the company plans to revisit the project in four years, anticipating possible political changes.

French oil major TotalEnergies has launched a call for tenders for the annual production of 500,000 tonnes of "green" hydrogen as part of its efforts to decarbonize its European refineries. The company aims to replace "grey" hydrogen, which is carbon-intensive, with green hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources. The transition to green hydrogen is expected to reduce emissions by around five million metric tons of CO2 per year from TotalEnergies' refineries in Europe. The company is also partnering with Air Liquide to supply the Gonfreville refining platform with up to 15,000 tonnes of green and low-carbon hydrogen, reducing 150,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually. TotalEnergies is seeking to boost the electrolyzer sector and take advantage of European regulations and incentives to achieve competitive prices for green hydrogen.

Iraq's oil minister, Hayan Abdel-Ghani, has said that talks with TotalEnergies to resolve issues in a $27bn energy deal have reached advanced stages. The deal, signed in 2021, would see TotalEnergies build four oil, gas and renewables projects in southern Iraq over 25 years.

Abdel-Ghani did not comment on the share issue but said that Iraq is committed to maintaining its 220,000 bpd oil output cut in line with its quota under the latest OPEC+ agreement.
