Total Begins Producing Sustainable Aviation Fuel in France
Paris, April 8, 2021 – Total has begun producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at its La Mède biorefinery in southern France and its Oudalle facility near Le Havre. The biojet fuel, made from used cooking oil, will be delivered to French airports starting in April 2021.
Total will also be able to produce SAF as from 2024 at its zero-crude Grandpuits platform, southeast of Paris.
All of these sustainable aviation fuels will be made from animal fat, used cooking oil and other waste and residue sourced from the circular economy. Total will not use vegetable oils as feedstock.
In this way, Total will be in a position to respond from its production sites in France to new French legislation that calls for aircraft to use at least 1% biojet fuel by 2022, 2% by 2025 and 5% by 2030.
The development of SAF is one of the strategic paths being pursued by Total to meet the challenge of carbon neutrality, as biojet fuels help reduce CO2 emissions from air transportation.
“By producing sustainable aviation fuel at our French sites today, we are able to respond to strong demand from an aviation industry looking to reduce its carbon footprint, while adapting our industrial resources. As a broad energy company, we support our customers by providing innovative solutions to reduce their emissions. This commitment is fully aligned with Total’s climate ambition to get to net zero emissions by 2050,” said Bernard Pinatel, President of Refining & Chemicals at Total.
Total and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Total is involved in numerous initiatives to produce and market sustainable aviation fuel in partnership with aviation industry partners. The Group will reach a new milestone in May 2021 with the creation of a dedicated Renewable Fuels Business Unit.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel is a practical alternative to fossil-based jet fuel. It significantly reduces the CO2 emissions from air transportation and can be used as a drop-in fuel as of today, without any need to modify existing supply chain infrastructure, aircraft or engines.

Uganda and Tanzania: Final Agreements
for the Lake Albert resources development project
Paris, 12 April 2021 — During a signing ceremony held yesterday in Entebbe, in the presence of Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda, Samia Suluhu Hassan, President of the United Republic of Tanzania, Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total, as well as representatives of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), Uganda National Oil Company (UNOC) and Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC), the partners of the Lake Albert development project concluded the final agreements required to launch this major project.
The Lake Albert development encompasses Tilenga and Kingfisher upstream oil projects in Uganda and the construction of the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) in Uganda and Tanzania. The Tilenga project, operated by Total, and the Kingfisher project, operated by CNOOC, are expected to deliver a combined production of 230,000 barrels per day at plateau. The upstream partners are Total (56.67%), CNOOC (28.33%) and UNOC (15%). The production will be transported from the oilfields in Uganda to the port of Tanga in Tanzania via EACOP cross-border pipeline, with Total, UNOC, TPDC and CNOOC as shareholders.
The agreements concluded yesterday include the Shareholders Agreement of EACOP and the Tariff and Transportation Agreement between EACOP and the Lake Albert oil shippers.
These agreements open the way for the commencement of the Lake Albert development project. The main engineering, procurement and construction contracts will be awarded shortly, and construction will start. First oil export is planned in early 2025.
All the partners are committed to implement these projects in an exemplary manner and taking into highest consideration the biodiversity and environmental stakes as well as the local communities’ rights and within the stringent environmental and social performance standards of the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
“The Tilenga development and EACOP pipeline project are major projects for Total and are consistent with our strategy to focus on low breakeven oil projects while lowering the average carbon intensity of the Group’s upstream portfolio. These projects will create significant in-country value for both Uganda and Tanzania” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total. “Total is also taking into the highest consideration the sensitive environmental context and social stakes of these onshore projects. Our commitment is to implement these projects in an exemplary and fully transparent manner”.

Partners with Siemens Energy to Reduce
LNG Related Emissions
Paris, April 13th, 2021 – Total and Siemens Energy signed a Technical Collaboration Agreement to study sustainable solutions for CO2 emissions reduction. The collaboration will focus on natural gas liquefaction facilities and associated power generation.
Each partner will bring together their best-in-class technologies and combine their know-how to deliver industrial-stage solutions such as combustion of clean hydrogen in gas turbines, competitive all-electrical liquefaction, optimized power generation, the integration of renewable energy in liquefaction plants’ power system and their efficiency enhancement.
“This collaboration with Siemens Energy, a major player in the energy technology sector, brings many opportunities to further reduce the carbon footprint of our activities, especially in our strategic LNG business,” said Arnaud Breuillac, President Exploration & Production at Total. “The development of low-carbon LNG will contribute to meet the growth in global energy demand whilst reducing the carbon intensity of the energy products consumed. Reducing its carbon footprint is essential for LNG to play its role fully in the energy transition.”
“We are pleased to partner with Total as one of the main players in the LNG value chain to explore how we can competitively reduce the carbon footprint of brownfield and greenfield LNG projects,” said Thorbjörn Fors, Executive Vice President of the Industrial Applications Division at Siemens Energy. “The agreement is a next step, following our announcement last June to collaborate together and conduct studies exploring possible liquefaction and power generation plant designs to help decarbonize the production of LNG.”
Total, Second Largest Private Global LNG Player
Total is the world's second largest privately owned LNG player, with a global portfolio of nearly 50 Mtpa by 2025 and a global market share of around 10%. The Group benefits from strong and diversified positions throughout the LNG value chain: gas production and liquefaction, LNG transportation and trading, and contribution to the development of the LNG industry for maritime transport. Through its interests in liquefaction plants in Qatar, Nigeria, Russia, Norway, Oman, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, Australia and Angola, the Company markets LNG on all world markets.

ESG & UN Sustainable Development Goals:
Total Recognized as a Top Leader by BloombergNEF
Paris, April 28, 2021 – On April 13, BloombergNEF published its first study on the alignment of corporate strategies with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). With a score of 97/100, Total ranked third worldwide in the survey, among the four business sectors studied (Oil and Gas, Utilities, Metals & Mining, Consumer Goods), and first in its sector.
The study, entitled “UN Sustainable Development Goals for Companies: Primer” assesses companies on the basis of an analysis of 10 categories of criteria, in terms of integration of the SDGs into their strategy, identification of their priority impacts and improvement targets. The assessment also takes into account the transparency of the associated reporting.
Since 2016, Total made a commitment to contribute to the SDGs’ achievement and uses them as a benchmark for measuring and prioritizing its impacts. The Group also played a pioneering role in SDG-related reporting by contributing to the work of the platform created in 2017 by the UN Global Compact and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
“Total is resolutely engaged in a transformation that addresses the challenges of the sustainable development agenda: fighting global warming, delivering tangible solutions and actively promoting a just transition. Total wants to be a benchmark for corporate commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals, and I am delighted that our teams’ engagement has been recognized with this first ranking,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total.
The Bloomberg study recognizes the alignment of Total’s business strategy with clearly stated climate objectives (SDG 13), its transformation into a broad energy company with tangible low-carbon energy projects (SDG 7), and the use of its economic and social clout, notably within its supply chain (SDG 8). The study also highlights Total’s work on transparent disclosure, with the publication of detailed SDG reporting.
Total believes that transparency is essential for building relationships of trust with its stakeholders and for putting the Group on a continuous improvement path. Total reports on its performance on the basis of the various commonly used ESG disclosure frameworks. In addition to the SDGs, Total refers to the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Core metrics proposed by the World Economic Forum, and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) for its climate reporting.
All of Total’s disclosures are available on its dedicated Sustainable Performance website.
About the Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations and its Member States adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a blueprint for addressing the global challenges of poverty, environmental protection, peace and prosperity by 2030. Businesses are asked to contribute to this agenda with their financial resources and capacity for innovation, to collectively resolve the issues of sustainable development.

Paris, April 29, 2021 - The Board of Directors of Total SE, meeting on April 28, 2021, under the chairmanship of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Pouyanné, approved the Group's first quarter 2021 accounts. On this occasion, Patrick Pouyanné said:
« In the first quarter, the Group fully benefited from rising oil and gas prices, up 38% and 24%, respectively quarter-to-quarter, and its strategy to grow LNG and Renewables and Electricity.
The Group reported adjusted net income of $3 billion, above the pre-crisis first quarter of 2019, despite a less favorable environment by taking advantage of the action plans implemented during the crisis. Cash flow (DACF) increased to $5.8 billion and gearing already decreased to less than 20% in the first quarter of 2021, validating the strategy of resilience and maintaining the dividend driven by the Board of Directors during the 2020 crisis. The Board of Directors confirms the objective of anchoring the Group's gearing sustainably below 20%. The organic cash breakeven was less than $25/b in the first quarter.
The iGRP segment reported adjusted net operating income of $1 billion, the highest in its history, and generated cash flow of more than $1 billion, thanks to growing LNG sales and the positive contribution from Renewables and Electricity, which had an EBITDA of nearly $350 million. Over the past year, gross installed renewable power generation capacity grew from 3 GW to 7.8 GW, renewable power production more than doubled, net power production increased by more than 60% and the Group now has more than 5 million customers in France. With more than $2 billion invested in renewables, including the acquisition of a 20% stake in Adani Green Energy Ltd in India, in the first quarter of 2021, the Group is accelerating its transformation into a broad energy company.
With an adjusted net operating income of $2 billion, Exploration & Production fully captured the higher oil price and provided a strong cash flow contribution of $3.8 billion. Given the OPEC+ quota implementation, the Group’s production, as announced, increased slightly to 2.86 Mboe/d (0.8%). With the launch of the Lake Albert project in Uganda and Tanzania, the Group is implementing its strategy to invest in resilient low-breakeven projects that reduce the carbon intensity of its portfolio.
The improved Upstream environment contrasts with depressed European refining margins, down 80% from a year ago, reflecting weak demand for petroleum products of 13 Mb/d in the first quarter 2021 versus 15 Mb/d a year earlier. Downstream adjusted net operating income was more than $500 million, supported by strong petrochemicals performance and resilient Marketing & Services.
Strengthened by these excellent results and confident in the fundamentals of the Group, the Board of Directors decided to distribute a first interim dividend for fiscal year 2021 stable at €0.66 / share. »

Refinery throughput volumes fell by 21% in the first quarter 2021 compared to a year ago due to the voluntary economic shutdown of the Donges refinery given the low margins, the shutdown of the Grandpuits refinery before its conversion to a zero-oil platform and the sale of the Lindsey refinery in the United Kingdom. The temporary shutdown of the Port Arthur platform in the US due to Storm Uri also contributed to the decline.
Production of monomers and polymers was stable compared to a year ago. The effect of strong demand was partially offset by the temporary shutdown of facilities in the US due to Storm Uri in Texas.

Adjusted net operating income for the Refining & Chemicals segment fell by 36% year-on-year to $243 million in the first quarter 2021. The drop was driven by European refining margins, which are still very poor, due to high oil prices and weak demand, particularly for distillates, due to reduced aviation activity.
Operating cash flow before working capital changes fell by 42% year-on-year to $394 million in the first quarter 2021 for the same reasons.
Cash flow from operations increased by $2,179 million to $996 million in the first quarter 2021 notably due to the decrease in working capital in the first quarter 2021, despite the low first quarter 2020 inventory values that reflected the sharp drop in oil prices.

Summary and outlook
Supported by the OPEC+ active policy to reduce inventories by adapting supply to demand, the oil price has remained above $60/b since the beginning of February 2021. However, the oil environment remains volatile and dependent on the global demand recovery, still affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Group maintains its expectation for stable hydrocarbon production in 2021 compared to 2020, benefiting from the resumption of production in Libya.
Total anticipates that the increase in the oil price observed in the first quarter will have a positive impact on its average LNG selling price over the next six months, given the lag effect on pricing formulas.
Given the high level of distillate inventories, European refining margins remain fragile.
Faced with uncertainties in the environment, the Group maintains spending discipline with an operating cost savings target of $0.5 billion in 2021 and production costs close to $5/boe. Net investments are expected to be between $12-13 billion in 2021, half to maintain the Group's activities and half for growth. Nearly 50% of these growth investments will be allocated to renewables and electricity.
The Group's teams are fully committed to the four priorities of HSE including the objectives in terms of CO2 emission reductions, operational excellence, cost reduction and cash flow generation.
In a 2021 hydrocarbon price environment maintained at the level of the first quarter (Brent at $60/b, European gas at $6/Mbtu), and with European refining margins at $10-15/t, the Group would expect to generate cash flow (DACF) on the order of $24 billion and a return on capital employed of close to 10%.
The Group confirms its priorities in terms of cash flow allocation: investing in profitable projects to implement its strategy to transform the Group into a broad-energy company, supporting the dividend through economic cycles, and maintaining a solid balance sheet with a minimum long-term “A” rating, by deleveraging to anchor the net debt-to-capital ratio sustainably below 20%.

This press release presents the results for the first quarter of 2021 from the consolidated financial statements of TOTAL SE as of March 31, 2021. The limited review procedures by the Statutory Auditors are underway. The notes to the consolidated financial statements (unaudited) are available on the Total website total.com.
This document may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, notably with respect to the financial condition, results of operations, business activities and industrial strategy of TOTAL. This document may also contain statements regarding the perspectives, objectives, areas of improvement and goals of the Group, including with respect to climate change and carbon neutrality (net zero emissions). An ambition expresses an outcome desired by the Group, it being specified that the means to be deployed do not depend solely on TOTAL. These forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of the future or conditional tense or forward-looking words such as “envisions”, “intends”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “considers”, “plans”, “expects”, “thinks”, “targets”, “aims” or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements included in this document are based on economic data, estimates and assumptions prepared in a given economic, competitive and regulatory environment and considered to be reasonable by the Group as of the date of this document.
These forward-looking statements are not historical data and should not be interpreted as assurances that the perspectives, objectives or goals announced will be achieved. They may prove to be inaccurate in the future, and may evolve or be modified with a significant difference between the actual results and those initially estimated, due to the uncertainties notably related to the economic, financial, competitive and regulatory environment, or due to the occurrence of risk factors, such as, notably, the price fluctuations in crude oil and natural gas, the evolution of the demand and price of petroleum products, the changes in production results and reserves estimates, the ability to achieve cost reductions and operating efficiencies without unduly disrupting business operations, changes in laws and regulations including those related to the environment and climate, currency fluctuations, as well as economic and political developments, changes in market conditions, loss of market share and changes in consumer preferences, or pandemics such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, certain financial information is based on estimates particularly in the assessment of the recoverable value of assets and potential impairments of assets relating thereto.
Neither TOTAL nor any of its subsidiaries assumes any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information or statement, objectives or trends contained in this document whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The information on risk factors that could have a significant adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition, including its operating income and cash flow, reputation, outlook or the value of financial instruments issued by TOTAL is provided in the most recent version of the Universal Registration Document which is filed by the Company with the French Autorité des Marchés Financiers and the annual report on Form 20-F filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Financial information by business segment is reported in accordance with the internal reporting system and shows internal segment information that is used to manage and measure the performance of TOTAL. In addition to IFRS measures, certain alternative performance indicators are presented, such as performance indicators excluding the adjustment items described below (adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, adjusted net income), return on equity (ROE), return on average capital employed (ROACE), gearing ratio, operating cash flow before working capital changes, the shareholder rate of return. These indicators are meant to facilitate the analysis of the financial performance of TOTAL and the comparison of income between periods. They allow investors to track the measures used internally to manage and measure the performance of the Group.
These adjustment items include:
(i) Special items
Due to their unusual nature or particular significance, certain transactions qualified as "special items" are excluded from the business segment figures. In general, special items relate to transactions that are significant, infrequent or unusual. However, in certain instances, transactions such as restructuring costs or asset disposals, which are not considered to be representative of the normal course of business, may be qualified as special items although they may have occurred within prior years or are likely to occur again within the coming years.
(ii) Inventory valuation effect
The adjusted results of the Refining & Chemicals and Marketing & Services segments are presented according to the replacement cost method. This method is used to assess the segments’ performance and facilitate the comparability of the segments’ performance with those of its competitors.
In the replacement cost method, which approximates the LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) method, the variation of inventory values in the statement of income is, depending on the nature of the inventory, determined using either the month-end price differentials between one period and another or the average prices of the period rather than the historical value. The inventory valuation effect is the difference between the results according to the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) and the replacement cost.
(iii) Effect of changes in fair value
The effect of changes in fair value presented as an adjustment item reflects, for some transactions, differences between internal measures of performance used by TOTAL’s management and the accounting for these transactions under IFRS.
IFRS requires that trading inventories be recorded at their fair value using period-end spot prices. In order to best reflect the management of economic exposure through derivative transactions, internal indicators used to measure performance include valuations of trading inventories based on forward prices.
TOTAL, in its trading activities, enters into storage contracts, whose future effects are recorded at fair value in Group’s internal economic performance. IFRS precludes recognition of this fair value effect.
Furthermore, TOTAL enters into derivative instruments to risk manage certain operational contracts or assets. Under IFRS, these derivatives are recorded at fair value while the underlying operational transactions are recorded as they occur. Internal indicators defer the fair value on derivatives to match with the transaction occurrence.
The adjusted results (adjusted operating income, adjusted net operating income, adjusted net income) are defined as replacement cost results, adjusted for special items, excluding the effect of changes in fair value.
Euro amounts presented for the fully adjusted-diluted earnings per share represent dollar amounts converted at the average euro-dollar (€-$) exchange rate for the applicable period and are not the result of financial statements prepared in euros.

Exhibit 99.10
Press Release
Total Enters a 640 MW Offshore Wind Project
Under Construction in Taiwan
Paris, April 29, 2021 – Total has signed an agreement with wpd to acquire a 23% interest in Yunlin Holding GmbH, the owner of Yunlin offshore wind farm located off the coast of Taiwan, around 200 kilometers southwest of Taipei. The project, currently under construction, represents production capacity of 640 megawatts (MW) and benefits from a 20-year guaranteed-price power purchase agreement (PPA) with the state-owned company Taipower of USD 250/MWh for the first 10 years and USD 125/MWh for the following 10 years1. For this acquisition of a 23% interest, Total will pay to wpd a consideration based on its share of past costs.
Located around 10 kilometers offshore at water depths ranging from 7 to 35 meters, the wind farm will comprise 80 wind turbines with a unit capacity of 8 MW. Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2022. Once on stream, the project will produce 2.4 terawatt hours (TWh) of renewable electricity per year, enough to serve the power needs of 605,000 households.
Procurement of the main components has been finalized and marine works are under way. The project reached a major milestone with the installation of the first wind turbine on April 23.
Identified by Taiwan’s authorities as a key area in the development of renewable energies, offshore wind power will be a significant contributor to the objective of generating 20% of its electricity from renewables by 2025 while fostering the emergence of a local wind power industry. Taiwan is one of the priority regions selected by Total for its development in offshore wind power in Asia.
“This agreement provides Total with an opportunity to gain a foothold in one of Asia’s main offshore wind markets and strengthens the Group’s position in this fast-growing segment, in line with its strategy of profitable development in renewables worldwide,” said Stéphane Michel, President Gas, Renewables & Power at Total. “Taiwan has been a pioneer in developing offshore wind power in Asia, and we are proud to contribute to the transformation of its energy mix. We are delighted to enter into this first partnership with wpd, one of the leading independent developers of offshore wind power.”
The project is currently 48%-owned by wpd, 25% by EGCO (Electricity Generating Public Company Limited) and 27% by a consortium of Japanese investors led by Sojitz (Sojitz Corporation, ENEOS Corporation, Chugoku Electric Power, Chudenko Corporation and Shikoku Electric Power).
The acquisition, which is subject to government approval, will broaden the Group’s portfolio of offshore wind projects under development and construction, that currently represents a cumulative capacity of about 5.5 GW.

Total, renewables and electricity
As part of its ambition to get to net zero by 2050, Total is building a portfolio of activities in renewables and electricity that should account for up to 40 % of its sales by 2050. At the end of 2020, Total's gross power generation capacity worldwide was around 12 GW, including 7 GW of renewable energy. Total will continue to expand this business to reach 100 GW of gross production capacity from renewable sources by 2030 with the objective of being among the world's top 5 in renewable energies.
