Bol d’Or 2022: TotalEnergies introduces a 100% certified sustainable* fuel for motorcycle endurance racing with the Lycée Pierre Mendes France-FMR 34-Mutelle des motards team

Paris, September 8th, 2022 - For the first time in the history of the Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC), a motorcycle running on Excellium Racing 100, a 100% certified sustainable fuel developed and produced by TotalEnergies, will be present at the starting grid. The fuel, which doesn’t contain a single drop of petrol, will ensure a 65% lifetime reduction in CO2 emissions.**

A world first in motorcycle competitions

TotalEnergies will provide the Lycée Pierre Mendes France-FMR 34-Mutelle des motards team—including the Yamaha R1 that will take part in the experimental category—with a 100% sustainable fuel for the famous Bol d’Or race, the fourth and final stage of the 2022 FIM Endurance World Championship (FIM EWC). This is the first time a motorcycle running on biofuel will take part in an international competition—a fact that underlines the commitment of TotalEnergies to move towards a decarbonized mobility, including in the sector of two-wheelers. The racetrack remains the ultimate laboratory to test the solutions of the future that have been developed in line with TotalEnergies’ ambition to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050, along with the society.

A fuel based on agricultural waste

The waste-based sustainable fuel, the fruit of 18 months of R&D work, was developed from waste and residues produced by French viniculture: wine lees and grape pomace. Excellium 100 is a racing fuel that has already met the stringent requirements of the FIA, and of manufacturers and motorists, when it was introduced as part of the automobile WEC and the 24 hours of Le Mans race last June, as well as the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive.

The FMR34 team: an educational approach

For this world first in FIM races, TotalEnergies decided to partner with the FMR34 team, composed of high-school students from the Lycée Pierre Mendès France in Montpellier, France. For over ten years, the institution that trains motorcycle mechanics, has given its students the opportunity to take part in racing-related projects. Approved by the FIM to make a debut in EWC with the FMR34 team, the Excellium Racing 100 fuel with enable students who work on this sport-based learning project to learn more about the functioning of a motorcycle engine that uses a 100% certified sustainable biofuel.

"TotalEnergies is proud to support the students of the Lycée Pierre Mendes France de Montpellier, specializing in maintenance, in their training project, by providing the FMR34 team a racing biofuel with Excellium Racing 100. After proving its worth in automobile races at FIA WEC and the 2022 24 hours of Le Mans, we are happy to demonstrate the pertinence of choosing a 100% sustainable fuel for motorcycle racing at an event as prestigious as Bol d’Or. Our biofuels have an important role to play in massively and quickly reducing CO2 emissions." - Pierre-Gautier Caloni, Director of Competition – TotalEnergies.

"We are excited and proud to collaborate with TotalEnergies for this Bol d’Or 2022 project. Beyond the skills acquisition and the practical application, this project will help us live out the values of mutual help and solidarity that are so dear to us. Since 2015, we‘ve taken part in Bol d’Argent and last year we made the leap to the 24 hours of Barcelona race. The fact that we performed well there was an incentive for us to be at the starting grid of the Bol d’Or this season with Yamaha R1 and our riders Pierre Lemos, Dorian Da-Ré, Maxime Hertzberg et Sébastien Lagut. If we’ve made the choice to include a sports element to our training program, it is also because we wanted our participation to make sense from a technical point of view. That’s why we decided to present ourselves in the experimental category by becoming the first team to use biofuel in a FIM competition, thanks to our partnership with TotalEnergies. Our ambition is to show that we can continue to use the thermal engine and respect the environment." - Marc Sanchez, teacher, and head of FMR34 team.

*Excellium Racing 100 is a 100% certified sustainable product in terms of the mass balance system applied by the International Sustainability Carbon Certification (ISCC)

**As per the methodology fixed by the EU directive RED II (2018/2001), Excellium Racing 100 allows for the reduction of at least 65% of greenhouse gas emissions when compared to an equivalent fossil fuel.
