TotalEnergies to Collaborate with Mistral AI to Increase the Application of Artificial Intelligence in its Multi-Energy Strategy

• TotalEnergies and the French company Mistral AI are joining forces to extend the use of AI in improving TotalEnergies’ activities’ performance, especially in low-carbon energies.
• The partners are to set up a joint innovation lab focused on artificial intelligence.

PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) and the French company Mistral AI are announcing a collaboration to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) innovation in support of the Company’s multi-energy strategy, especially in low-carbon energies.

A shared AI innovation lab

Under the terms of the partnership, a joint innovation lab will be set up, staffed by teams from both companies. Mistral AI will contribute its AI technologies and TotalEnergies will contribute its expertise in the production of energy, particularly renewable, low carbon energy, in order to test and design advanced digital solutions. The first use cases will allow the Company to:

• design an assistant for its 1,000 researchers to support them in their mission to develop new energies and reduce the Company’s environmental footprint;
• develop decision-support solutions to enhance the performance of its industrial assets and lower its CO₂ emissions.
• implement support solutions aimed at improving the customer experience and helping them save energy.

The lab will also test digital solutions for other use cases, especially renewable energy production.

In view of the issue of digital sovereignty in Europe, the partners will jointly examine opportunities for TotalEnergies to adopt AI infrastructure.

TotalEnergies and AI, a major pillar of its technological ambition

The deal reflects TotalEnergies’ decision to leverage digital technology and artificial intelligence to improve performance at its industrial facilities and support its transition.

In the past, TotalEnergies has mainly used artificial intelligence in earth science and to improve predictive maintenance or detect any issues with the machinery in its facilities. AI now plays a vital role for the Company, helping develop new opportunities, especially in the production of renewables, reduction of CO₂ emissions and the development of innovative services that allow its customers to control and optimize their energy use.

TotalEnergies’ Digital Factory, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, has 300 developers, data scientists and other digital experts, and has already developed over a hundred solutions, sixty of which harness technologies ranging from machine learning to generative AI.

“We are delighted to work with Mistral AI, a leading French player in artificial intelligence. This deal reflects our intention to contribute to the emergence of a technological ecosystem in Europe, and will allow us to explore new opportunities to further embed AI into our activities. AI has huge potential to transform energy systems, and this partnership was motivated by our pioneering spirit and ongoing search for innovation,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.

“This partnership illustrates the positive impact generative AI can have on a sector as strategic as that of TotalEnergies. By dedicating our AI solutions and experts to the R&D effort, the operational teams and, ultimately, the Company’s customers, we are contributing to improved operations and the digital transition of this global energy giant,” said Arthur Mensch, Chief Executive Officer at Mistral AI.
