VivaTech：TotalEnergiesがMethaneLiveでデータ活用、メタン排出削減を支援
専門家の視点
トータルエナジーズがVivaTechで発表したMethaneLiveは、13,000のセンサーとリアルタイムデータ解析により、メタン排出源を特定し迅速な是正を可能にするシステムです。2026年初頭の稼働開始から35件の fugitive 排出を検出した実績は、実体として確かな進展を示しています。しかし、物語と現実の間にズレがあります。同社は「2030年までに操業上流サイトのメタン排出をほぼゼロにする」と宣言していますが、この目標が達成可能かどうかの検証指標や、検出された排出量の総量と削減率に関する具体的な数値が示されていません。物語は壮大ですが、実体としての進捗を測るKPIが欠落している構造です。 さらに、センサー設置とデータ分析の技術的優位性が強調される一方で、「誰が実行するのか」という実行レイヤーが不明瞭です。オペレーターへのアラートと是正措置は現場の人的対応に依存しますが、人員教育や対応手順の整備状況には触れられていません。制度面では、メタン規制の国際的枠組み（例：グローバル・メタン・プレッジ）との整合性や、他社への展開可能性も今後の焦点です。
Download the Press Release Paris, June 18, 2026 – On the occasion of VivaTech’s 10th anniversary, TotalEnergies is showcasing MethaneLive, its new global methane emissions monitoring center. It leverages real-time data and advanced algorithms to detect, measure, and analyze emissions with a view to reducing them. In 2025, TotalEnergies deployed permanent, real-time methane emissions monitoring through the installation of 13,000 sensors across all its operated onshore and offshore Upstream sites. The Company is currently the only one in the industry to have deployed such a system across its operated assets. These sensors generate a large volume of data. By combining advanced digital tools with the expertise of MethaneLive teams, this data is analyzed in real time to alert operators, identify the root causes of anomalies, and recommend the most appropriate corrective actions. Since its launch in early 2026, MethaneLive has detected 35 fugitive methane emissions at various facilities—emissions that would have been difficult to identify without real-time data analysis—and enabled their correction through targeted maintenance operations. This foundation now enables the deployment of agentic AI solutions to go further, by more effectively targeting the highest-emitting equipment and improving the detection of fugitive emissions. Recognizing the central role of the Oil Gas sector in global methane emissions, TotalEnergies has been committed to reducing them for many years. Since 2022, the Company has been committed to aiming for near-zero methane emissions at its operated Upstream sites by 2030. This ambition is built on two pillars: accurately measuring methane emissions and relentlessly reducing them. “The use of real-time data is a concrete driver that helps make our operations more reliable, safer, more efficient, and more sustainable. The value of digital technologies and AI is built over time, at the intersection of technology and people. Thanks to the quality of our
