Total
No-one wants today's innovations to compromise our development in the future. This is why Total has defined its Research & Development around four major areas:
- better knowledge of both fossil and renewable energy for optimum usage;
- reliability and efficiency of our operations;
- competitiveness of products and how they adapt to market needs;
- and controlling the impact of our activities on the environment.
Between 2008 and 2013, Total will invest 7.5 billion dollars in R&D, with more than 4,000 researchers working in 22 research centres worldwide. In addition, we have more than 600 active partnerships with other large industrial groups, universities and specific research organisations.www.total.com
