@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA Hello, your claims are inaccurate. #EACOPexplained 👇

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 1/8 Uganda & Tanzania, as sovereign states, have made the strategic choice to tap their natural resources & chose TotalEnergies, which guarantees the implementation of the best social & environmental standards and has developed a project among the lowest CO2 emitters.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 2/8 The project will not move 100000 of people, but rather 723 households, or around 5000 people, who will be relocated nearby in better conditions. 100000 is the number of people who present a property, a piece of land or a plot, on the location of these two projects.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 3/8 94% of the compensation agreements are currently signed. The reality is that most of the populations we work with are in favour because the projects will improve their living conditions by creating infrastructure and jobs.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 4/8 With $2 billion in investment attributed to local firms, the Tilenga and EACOP projects will create close to 80,000 direct and indirect jobs.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 5/8 The direct greenhouse gas emissions (known as Scope 1 and 2) generated by the Tilenga project and the EACOP pipeline are estimated at 0.8 million tons of CO2 equivalent per year over the life of the production plateau.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 6/8 Over 20 years, the amount of emissions generated by the Tilenga and EACOP projects (Scope 1 and 2) is estimated at 13.5 million tons cumulatively and not 34 million tons per year.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 7/8 These projects are consistent with TotalEnergies' strategy to focus on low-breake gas development projects with low greenhouse gas emissions.

@galleerie @Europarl_DE @GreensEFA 8/8 Indeed, the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of these projects is 13 kg of CO2 per barrel, a level significantly lower than the average of the Company's oil production (18).
