Protecting biodiversity Technip Energies has patented an innovative proactive system, the BirdVIGITM, to predict migratory bird crossings and lower structure lighting accordingly. Adopted at our clients onshore and offshore facilities located in migratory corridors, this system mitigates disruption to bird migration.

The SeaCleaners Technip Energies is supporting a pioneering new vessel, the Manta, designed to tackle the growing ecological concern of plastic waste discarded around the world s coasts and in the ocean. Our engineering teams are helping with the development of technologies for the giant catamaran that will collect waste offshore. The plastic waste in the water is collected, sorted and either converted into energy on the boat or brought back to land for recycling. The vessel will be fitted with wind turbines, solar panels and hydro generators to minimize the use of fossil fuels and is scheduled to begin operating in 2024. Our work on the project includes technical support on how to maximize the collection of waste through reliable equipment and how to select the best plastic treatment processing scheme. We are also exploring how we can expand our work on the development program and be part of the detailed engineering execution.

The Manta project is being overseen by The SeaCleaners, an association formed in 2016 by the veteran sailor and adventurer Yvan Bourgnon.

Leveraging an environmental network T.EN Italy Solutions, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Technip Energies Italy, includes in its Sustainability & Environment Division, a team of 12 environmental specialists, supported by a network of around 40 consultants specialized in various disciplines (botanists, marine biologists, pedologists, agronomists, archaeologists). They are involved on projects through different areas of expertise such as environmental impact studies, environmental monitoring, archeological surveys or soil management. As an example, they bring their expertise in sustainability and circular economy on a pipeline project in Southern Italy where they have carried out a wide soil characterization campaign in relation to the planned excavation operations. Over 97% of the excavated soil (500,000 m3) has been directly reused at the production site for backfilling and restoration activities, without any treatment, transport and movements. Several collaborations are also ongoing between T.EN Italy Solutions and Italian universities.
