Status: Project Announced / Design Phase (May 6, 2026) | Location: Technical Center (CSTJF) pau
Announced on May 6, 2026, Pangea 5 represents a major €100 million investment by TotalEnergies in partnership with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA, underscoring the growing role of high-performance computing in the energy sector. Installed at the CSTJF campus in Pau, France, this next-generation supercomputer is designed to increase the company’s computational capacity sixfold, enabling faster and more precise data processing. Its primary applications include advanced seismic imaging, which improves subsurface analysis for resource exploration, and the development of integrated power models that support TotalEnergies’ transition toward a diversified, low-emission energy portfolio. Beyond raw performance, Pangea 5 stands out for its strong environmental focus. It achieves a 40% reduction in overall energy consumption compared to previous systems, while its highly optimized cooling infrastructure cuts cooling-related energy use by an impressive 80%. In a further step toward efficiency, the system captures residual heat generated during operation and repurposes it to warm campus buildings that accommodate more than 2,500 people. This combination of computational power and sustainability positions Pangea 5 as a strategic tool in aligning technological advancement with climate-conscious energy practices.
