Once completed, this vast project will be the company’s first zero-crude platform.
The complex construction operation, for which as much of the site's equipment as possible is reused, requires the mobilisation and expertise of all the employees who know the Grandpuits site. Some projects due to arrive in the second phase – biogas and mechanical recycling – have been suspended and the employees who were to join them are assigned, with their agreement, to the success of the first two major projects. In line with its plans at the outset of the project in 2020, TotalEnergies confirms that 250 jobs will be maintained at Grandpuits following the conversion.
Within a few months, Grandpuits will be able to produce 10 000 tpy of pyrolysis oil from recycled plastic, and from the beginning of 2026, up to 230 000 tpy of SAF.
