To succeed in adding electricity and renewable energies, TotalEnergies created a new entity, OneTech, which combines all the corporate departments related to technical issues or R&D at our different segments (Exploration & Production, Refining & Chemical, Marketing & Services and Gas, Renewables & Power). With a 3,400-strong workforce, OneTech will be split into three hubs: an Industrial Hub supporting the Company’s expansion in gas, renewables, electricity and carbon emissions reduction, a Research & Development Hub will pool all of TotalEnergies’ research activities to anticipate the Company’s transformation, by giving priority to the low-carbon mix and a Support Hub. 

By integrating all the Company's technical and R&D expertise in a single entity, One Tech becomes one of the pillars of TotalEnergies’ transformation into a multi energy company.
