Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen

Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is the Belgian refining arm of TotalEnergies, the French integrated multi-energy group. It operates the Antwerp refinery and associated petrochemical complex in the Port of Antwerp, one of the largest refining and petrochemical clusters in Europe. The entity is a subsidiary of TotalEnergies SE and forms part of the group's European refining and chemicals platform. The Antwerp site processes crude oil into fuels, lubricants, bitumen, special fluids and petrochemical feedstocks. It is integrated with petrochemical operations, allowing the group to capture value across the oil chain, from refining through to base chemicals and polymers. This integration is consistent with TotalEnergies' stated strategy of targeting integrated platforms and benefiting from privileged access to raw materials. As part of TotalEnergies, the Antwerp refinery is affected by the group's European refining strategy. TotalEnergies has announced a plan to reduce its sales of petroleum products by 40% by 2030, and is converting refineries into biorefineries, rolling out electric charging and developing hydrogen mobility. The Antwerp complex is therefore part of a wider transformation of the group's European refining footprint toward lower-carbon operations. The refinery supplies fuels to the Belgian and wider European market, including through TotalEnergies' service station network, and provides feedstock to the petrochemical industry. Its location in the Port of Antwerp gives it access to deep-water crude imports and to the Antwerp-Rotterdam-Amsterdam refining and petrochemical hub. Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is a Belgian legal entity within the TotalEnergies group. It is not separately listed; its parent, TotalEnergies SE, is publicly traded on Euronext Paris and the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker TTE. The refinery's history is tied to the broader history of TotalEnergies, which was founded in 1924 as Compagnie française des pétroles and renamed TotalEnergies in 2021 to reflect its multi-energy strategy.

Total Raffinaderij Antwerpen is the Belgian refining subsidiary of TotalEnergies, the French energy group whose history dates back to 1924. TotalEnergies was created as Compagnie française des pétroles with the aim of ensuring France's energy independence, and it began oil production in Iraq in 1927. Over the decades it grew into an international integrated oil and gas company through partnerships and acquisitions, including with Petrofina, Elf Aquitaine, Saft, Maersk Oil and Direct Energie. The Antwerp refinery forms part of the group's European refining and petrochemical footprint. Located in the Port of Antwerp, it is integrated with petrochemical operations, reflecting TotalEnergies' strategy of targeting integrated platforms and benefiting from privileged access to raw materials. The site processes crude oil into fuels, lubricants, bitumen, special fluids and petrochemical feedstocks, and supplies both the Belgian market and wider European customers. In the 2020s, TotalEnergies set out a multi-energy strategy aimed at carbon neutrality together with society. The group changed its name from Total to TotalEnergies in 2021 to reflect this ambition. As part of this strategy, TotalEnergies announced a plan to reduce its sales of petroleum products by 40% by 2030, so that it neither sells nor refines more fuel than it produces oil. The group is converting refineries into biorefineries, accelerating the roll-out of electric charging stations in major European cities, and setting up a European network of hydrogen stations for heavy goods vehicles with Air Liquide. In Europe, TotalEnergies is continuing to transform its service station network into multi-energy sites. For the Antwerp refinery, this European strategy implies an ongoing transformation of the site's product slate and operations, with a focus on lower-carbon fuels, petrochemical integration and non-energy uses of oil such as petrochemicals and lubricants, which generate fewer greenhouse gases. The refinery remains an active part of TotalEnergies' European refining system and of the Antwerp-Rotterdam-Amsterdam industrial cluster.
