Total is considering a name change to reflect its strategy of diversifying its focus into alternative energy sources. The company has submitted a proposal to its shareholders to change the group s name to
Total Energies, it said on Wednesday.
Ship & Bunker reported last month, Total is in a strong position to become one of the leading suppliers of alternative marine fuels. The firm s contract to supply
CMA CGM with LNG for its new gas-powered boxships already makes it one of the largest LNG bunker suppliers, and recent investments mean the company may in the coming years be able to supply biogas and green hydrogen as well.
