A word from the Head of the Pau Site

Jérôme Poncet
guillemet ouvrant

This space has been created for you to explore the wealth and diversity of the activities and actions that take place on TotalEnergies’ site in Pau (the CSTJF in Pau and the PERL in Lacq). We are keen to tell you all about our cutting-edge, broad-energy expertise and our proactive involvement with our local partners. Beyond the historical expertise developed by our teams to provide accessible energy for all in compliance with the best environmental standards, the women and men working on our Pau site are helping the Company along the path it has resolutely set out on toward the energy transition. Carbon capture and storage, offshore wind, e-fuels, and making our computing power available to develop new technologies are just some of the topics at the heart of our shared ambition for responsible energy.

A company is first and foremost a human adventure, a community that shares values in-house and with all the stakeholders in its basin. Here, our multicultural and multidisciplinary teams benefit from the outstanding quality of life that the Béarn region has to offer, nestled between the Pyrenees mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. The women and men on our Site are passionate about their specialties, prepared to rise to unprecedented technological challenges, and contribute to upholding the historical heritage that ties us to our territory, and promoting it on a global scale.
