TotalEnergies’s CEO gave his backing to an international pledge to triple renewable energy generation at the COP28 climate summit, calling it necessary to phase out fossil fuels and decarbonise.
“It’s the right way to frame the object, tripling renewables, because if we don’t do that, there’s no way to phase out fossil energy,” Patrick Pouyanne told Reuters in an interview on the sidelines of the summit in Dubai.
“It’s a question of mobilising finance, particularly in many developing countries.”
