economic growth. Two-thirds of global
economic growth is generated by new
products.

BUILDING A “LOW CARBON” SOCIETY
We need to change from a society with a high fossil ener-
gy and natural resource consumption to a more energy-
efficient and resource-efficient society: namely, a “low
carbon” society.
This energy and environmental transition calls for the in-
volvement of all societal stakeholders, namely: local gov-
ernments, companies, associations, public organisations,
citizens, etc. The country takes action by providing strong
support for technological, social and economic innovation.
Spurred by government policies, French companies have
embarked on the challenge of innovation by proposing
solutions that will improve our quality of life, create wealth,
jobs and strengthen the social bond.
INNOVATION AT THE SERVICE OF THE CLIMATE
The technologies used to produce or consume can all be
improved to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Innovations can lead to a technological breakthrough to
consume less and produce more energy;
They may equally change the way we organise our activi-
ties, with digital tools helping us to optimise our consump-
tion and movements;
They will bring about new behaviours like facilitating
contacts between suppliers and consumers.
Let’s enter tomorrow’s “low carbon” world!

FINANCING INNOVATION FOR THE COMMON GOOD
With the Investments for the Future Program - PIA,
the State set up an effective industrial policy instrument
to meet the challenge of competitiveness and trigger off
the emergence of a new growth model. It acts as a cata-
lyst of green growth and allows the competitive industries
of tomorrow to develop, by financing the transition from
the innovation phase to the marketing phase: this is often a
risky passage that usually requires a substantial amount of
capital.
These innovations are a fantastic driver of economic and
social development. By 2020, they may create more than
10,000 jobs and a turnover of 10 billion euros.
KEY INNOVATION SECTORS
Renovation of old buildings and construction of new
more high-performance buildings.
Less energy consuming and GHG emitting means of
transport or better ways of transportation without using
personal cars.
More efficient renewable energies deployed on land and
in the sea that swell up their share in the energy pool.
Smart electrical systems help to better manage energy
from producer to consumer, balance supply and demand,
and involve all users.
The circular economy reduces the quantity of waste and
saves raw materials and energy.

Micro-Hydrokinetic Turbines:
an innovative solution
Roughly 1.3 billion people around the world have
no access to energy and have to use diesel gener-
ators for electricity production. However, most of
them live near rivers, which can be a potential free
and huge source of energy.
Funded with FASEP program Green Innovation,
the MOULENDA project aims to increase access to
energy services for an off-grid community, thanks
to an innovative electrical generating system us-
ing run-of-river energy. Micro-hydrokinetic power
provides a low cost electricity to population and re-
duces greenhouse effect gases. In Moulenda, it is
envisaged creation of a micro-electrical grid (6kW)
supplied by 12 floating EcoCinetic turbines.
Launched in 2013 and after field missions to eval-
uate the potential, the project will soon move
into the operational phase. Actually, turbines are
manufactured and installation will begin in the first
quarter of 2016.

Harnessing energy
by storing heat
Achieving the energy transition for green growth
will require the formulation of eco-efficient heat
storage solutions to improve energy efficiency
on an industrial scale and incorporate renewable
energies.
In 2015, heavy industries lost more than
3500 TWhth/year of “fatal heat” (T>200°C). Har-
nessing this energy will help to:
Improve industrial energy efficiency from 20 to 40%.
Prevent the disposal of 2450 Mteq of CO2 yearly.
Generate 200 billion euros yearly.
Eco-Tech Ceram is designing a robust, plug and
play, modular heat storage solution, using heat
storage materials obtained from recycling the cir-
cular economy. It is therefore an eco-efficient solu-
tion that will help to enhance regulations.

A developing industrial sector
of excellence
The offshore wind energy sector has experienced
considerable growth in recent years. Offshore wind
farms benefit from winds that are more powerful
and more consistent than those onshore wind farms
are exposed to.
Haliade* 150-6MW is one of the most powerful and
innovative wind turbines ever installed offshore.
238 Haliades* will be installed in the Courseulles-
sur-Mer, Fécamp and Saint-Nazaire wind farms,
with commissioning as from 2020. To meet the
needs of a booming international market, GE has
implemented an ambitious industrial plan com-
bining the construction of four dedicated plants
manufacturing Haliade* wind turbines with the cre-
ation of an engineering centre in Nantes dedicated
to marine energies.
Two of these production facilities are already in
operation at Saint-Nazair ADEME has contributed
33% of the financing for these plants. They have
a production capacity of 100 wind turbines a year.

Operating underwater generators
in actual conditions
Tidal energy from ocean currents is renewable, in-
exhaustible and predictable over the long term. The
ENGIE project aims at designing, constructing and
operating over a 20 year period, a pilot farm of
4 underwater generators developed and manufac-
tured by GE. The farm will supply electricity to a
population of roughly 10,000.
Operating the pilot farms of some units in actu-
al conditions is a prerequisite to confirm the per-
formance of the technologies retained and the
economic viability of the sector. The underwater
generators will be connected to an underwater
power station from which a single transmission ca-
ble will run towards the shores and the power grid.
This environmentally-friendly and seafarer-friendly
project will undergo an ambitious and comprehen-
sive environmental follow-up.
Located at Raz Blanchard (Alderney Race) off the
coast of Normandy, the NEPTHYD project paves
the way for large-scale industrial deployment in
France and abroad. It will help to establish this sec-
tor across the land.

Save fossil fuels recycling
PET bottles
The country is the third world consumer of PET
plastic bottles (polyethylene terephthalate). How-
ever, waste treatment processes are not adapted
and plastic is released into environment or landfill.
One of the world’s largest recyclers of food-con-
tact-grade PET opened in 2006 in Toluca, around
60km from Mexico. In 2014, 75 000 tons of PET
were collected resulting in a production of 50 000
tons of recycled plastic. Optical sorting equipment
was provided by Pellenc ST and installed in 2010.
And thanks to satisfactory return on investment,
PETStar has decided to double its sorting line with
the latest generation of Pellenc machines. But it re-
duces also the carbone footprint of bottles made
with recycled plastic. Indeed, we need only 7MJ/kg
to produce recycled PET against 84MJ/kg for virgin
PET.
Since 2001, Pellenc ST is an high tech company
leader in the waste sorting and recycling industry.
It designs, produces and sells optical sorting equip-
ment and optimizes its customers’ sorting processes.

Power in all meridians
A real ecological alternative to thermal genera-
tor has now been developed: it allows to provide
power anywhere and in any circumstances, using
renewable energies and innovative storage tech-
niques such as hydrogen.
PowiDian has developed a standalone power pro-
duction and storage station, ecological, highly reli-
able, true concentrate of advanced technology and
software intelligence. The station manage every
type of renewable energy and solve the issue of
intermittent power sources in particular thanks to
hydrogen. Power may then be produced anytime, in
any circumstances. PowiDian scales its solution to
the real need of each client to provide tailor-made
stations which offer a rapid return on investment.
PowiDian has just installed a world premiere: a hy-
drogen production and storage station at 2,600
meters to power the refuge du Palet (National Park
of Vanoise): hikers have now an unlimited access to
a clean power, whatever the weather conditions.

Towards a Silicon wafer
Industry
In a fast-growing global market, there is a need
to speed up the spread of solar energy and make
provision for growth on the global market by of-
fering a turnkey solution that is energy-efficient,
resource-efficient and CO2 emissions-efficient.
The overarching aim of PV800 Export in France is
to develop a competitive silicon wafer industry for
the generation of electric power through renewable
solar sources.
Silicon ingots are conventionally obtained through
chemical processes. The project aims at produc-
ing solar grade silicon from a type of purified met-
allurgical silicon with a lower energy penalty and
environmental impact.
Launched in 2011, the project comprises a R&D
phase followed by a prototyping and thereafter, in-
dustrial demonstration. PV800 Export equipment
manufacturers are spread out across several re-
gions, thereby giving the project a decentralised
scope nationwide.

Harnessing energy from currents
The ebb and flow of the tides across the coasts of
the world and Europe produce powerful currents
that can be harnessed to generate electricity. The
global generation potential from this resource
stands at an “installable” capacity of roughly
50 GW.
Sabella D10 harnesses hydrokinetic energy to ge-
nerate electricity. It is designed to be reliable and
robust, at a competitive cost. Mounted in the ocean
at a depth of 25 to 50m, where tidal currents ex-
ceed 2m/s, it is invisible from the surface with a tur-
bine that generates up to 1 MW with its 10m diam-
eter rotor, and neither disrupts navigation, fishing
activities nor affects the surrounding marine life.
The project is giving rise to a promising industrial
sector driven by a global market, especially in the
remote island areas.
The demonstrator was launched at Brest on 24 April
2015, lowered into the water in the Fromveur Pas-
sage in Brittany in the summer of 2015 and thereaf-
ter, connected to the island of Ushant in the month
of September. It should be dismantled after a year
of trial.

Floating offshore wind turbines
In France depths greater than 30 meters are
reached too close to the coast for offshore foun-
dation based wind turbines development. Floating
wind turbines offer a solution to this problem par-
ticularly on the Mediterranean coast.
With its vertical architecture, the VERTIWIND
wind turbine, introduces a huge innovation in the
marine wind energy sector.
The product marks a technological breakthrough
in so far as it provides an energy cost comparable
to nuclear energy and 30% cheaper than the com-
petition. This technology can achieve better per-
formance, a power greater than 5 MW and a 15%
increase in electricity production. Its optimized
floater allows simplified offshore operations with
access to up to 200 meters depth areas.
Since May 2014, a 600kW prototype is already
being tested onshore at Fos-sur-Mer. The project
will increase the wind offshore energy market
and will help establish an innovative, job creating
industrial sector.

Recycling Composites
The fast-growing composite materials is seeking
long-lasting solutions to manage its production
waste and end-of-life products.
So far, there was no satisfactory solution: co-com-
bustion in the cement industry or “materials” recy-
cling were still in their infancy: They are “thermo-
sets” and their crushing and processing were costly.
AB VAL COMPOSITES is testing the development
of this waste on an innovative industrial line. The
industrial optimisation of the recycling process
is nearing completion. Tests on the mechanical
properties of the material will help to develop
100% recycled or recyclable products that can be
used to supplement or replace materials like con-
crete or wood.
The project requires the establishment of a collec-
tion sector and the diversion of composites from
being buried in industrial landfill sites. It is capable
of giving the French composites industry a signifi-
cant edge in global competition, by demonstrating
the recyclability of waste in a practical, economic
and operational manner.

Producing liquid biomethane
from biogaz
Biogas produced by biodegradable matter from
treatment plants is a resource that can be deve-
loped and used locally. It is a sustainable option,
rich in methane and readily available around local
fuel consumption systems.
Thanks to an integrated upgrading and liquefac-
tion process, BioGNVAL aims at transforming the
biogas obtained from treatment wastewater into
liquid methane, a renewable and easily storable
energy. The project consists in designing, con-
structing and operating a bio-LNG industrial pro-
duction demonstrator; making use of the biofuel
by streamlining its storage, transportation and dis-
tribution logistics, and equally making use of the
liquid CO2 obtained from the cryogenic processing
of the biogas.
The emergence of a renewable energy production
sector will put bio-LNG on the map compared
with other fossil fuels with a global potential,
especially diesel. It is envisioned that optimum use
will be in long-distance transportation of goods.

Reducing GHG with Microorganisms
During the last 50 years, agricultural soils have lost 1/3 of their humus, of their carbon, due to the loss of soil life, to over use of chemicals and to heavy soil work. Microorganisms producing humus are a solution to reverse that phenomenon.
The aim of Marcel Mézy® Technologies is to devel-op the natural fertility of their soils by producing humus.These technologies enables to divide by 2 the use of chemical inputs (fertilizers & pesticides) and thus their GHG emissions, too. They are also working on all types of organic matter, especially manure and slurry, by recycling them 2 times quicker into humus.
These technologies have been used for 30 years by over 10 000 farmers in France and in the world, fix-ing carbon and nitrogen from the air, 10 to 40 t C/ha, as much as a forest!

Collecting, regenerating and using
Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB)
PVB is a material found in shatterproof glass (car
windscreens, glass windows, etc...) with a current
recycling rate of next to zero. Each year, dozens of
thousands of tonnes are dumped as waste.
Several players in the plastic processing sector find
the physical properties of PVB quite interesting but
virgin resin is quite expensive and therefore limits
its use to applications with high added value like
production of shatterproof glass.
PVB RECYCLING is aimed at industrialising a PVB
regeneration process by testing its compatibility
in several applications, in addition to or replace-
ment of other resins. A PVB waste recovery sec-

Energy retrofiting of buildings
in the social Housing environment
The building sector is the biggest energy-consumer
in France (42%). The renovation of the French hou-
sing is one of the priority axes to make the success
of the bet to stabilize at a level that prevents global
warming above 2°C.
RIVP (Property Management Company of Paris)
started in 2011 the retrofiting of the real estate,
Vincennes II, to improve its thermic and acoustic
qualities. Ambitious works were made on insula-
tion, windows, HVAC, boilers. After works, this di-
lapidated and energy-consuming property complex
turned into “Low Consumption Building” (BBC)
with a profit of 161 kWhep/m2/year. It means 40%
economy on the annual energy invoice by accomo-
dation. A Technical Management of Buildings (GTB)
was settled to have a return on energy consump-
tions further to the works.
Works lasted 18 months and cost 8 M€, that is
20 000€ by accommodation. More than 10 years
that Alterea is an expert in engineering of ener-
gy and building. They provide a global approach:
Project management, design and conduct of works

The challenges of climate change warrant that
we question our development options. During the COP19&20 meetings, all signatories to the United Nations Framework Convention in Climate Change were invited to submit their “climate contributions” before 30/09/2015.
ARTELIA assisted Côte d’Ivoire, Cameroon, and the Republic of Congo in carrying out this exercise be-tween May and September 2015. The aim of these
“climate contributions” is to evaluate GHG emis-
sions, propose mitigation and adjustment poli-cies, compile and evaluate the resources (human, financial, technological) needed for a low-carbon development.
ARTELIA is an engineering and consultancy firm with a staff strength of roughly 3 500 spread out in over forty countries and providing support to local stakeholders (States/Local Governments/Compa-nies) in the energy and environmental transition.

Kite-propelled ships
Kite-towing technology will cut down ship fuel
consumption by harnessing wind as source of
energy. This will equally cut down greenhouse gas
emissions accordingly.
Over a three-year period, Beyond the Sea intends
to design an automatic management system for a
200m2 kite equipped with a launcher/recuperator
and an automatic pilot. Over the next four years,
800 to 1600m2 wings will equip very large ships,
and thereafter adapted to container carriers to fi-
nally validate the operationalisation of the model.
Adaptable on all kinds of ships, both sailing or
motor-driven, the surface area of the sail will de-
pend on the size of the ship to ensure full and safe
control.
By cutting down 20% of fuel expenses, the solu-
tion will yield dividends over the very short-term.
Depending on the desired efficiency, the kite will
step in to supplement the propulsion sytem.

High-performance Compact Insulators
The global market for insulation materials is set to account for 50 to 60 billion euros by 2020 to 2025. Due to their high technical performance, sili-ca aerogels are expected to complete and compete with conventional thermal insulators.
ENERSENS is developing and industrialising the production of hyper-insulators made from silica aerogels. Initially used in the aerospace industry, they are very light and very finely structured ma-terials that prevent air molecules trapped in the materials from exchanging energy. The project is an integral part of the building energy management renovation project that seeks to carry out a large-scale rehabilitation of the current infrastructure and has set out ambitious performance targets for new infrastructure.
Enersens has already developed two types of hyper-insulators: Kwark®, aerogel pellets used as additives for purposes like in insulating and breath-able façade renderings; and Skogar®, panels and paddings that insulate 2 to 3 times more than current insulators.

A world first
in urban areas
3rd European megalopolis, the Greater Paris area
emits +/-15% of national CO2 emissions for 2% of
the territory. To date the level of uncertainty of the
inventories is high and the spatial measurement
compare with the real concentrations levels.
The GreenLITE system is composed of a pair of
Laser Absoption Spectrometry transceiver units
(LAS) -fixed on the top of the Montparnasse and
Jussieu Towers- coupled with a series of 16 retro
reflectors which are installed in a semi-circle with
a radius of 5kms. The system allows to measure
the atmospheric density of CO2 over a large num-
ber of intertwined lines and to produce a real time
2D spatial CO2 distribution map over Paris. A world
exclusivity in a urban area.
ENVIROEARTH, the Engineering division of Enviro-

Unique sustainable ecodesign
for best metrological performances
Worldwide government agencies, public and pri-
vate organizations continuously monitor levels of
atmospheric pollution. Thousands of air quality
analyzers already in use are often direct or indirect
source of pollution: high energy consumption, use
of rare minerals and polluting materials.
If innovation is the heart of its strategy, the sus-
tainable development and environmental impact
reduction are part of Environnement S.A’s day to
day life. In 2010 already, the company achieved its
carbon footprint in accordance with ADEME’s pro-
cedure. Building on this achievement and experi-
ence of extensive eco-design processes since 2007,
the launch of 4 ambient air analyzers (O3 , CO, NOx
and SO2 ) takes Environnement S.A a step forward
to the leading edge of measurement technology
incorporating features which provide productivity
gains for operators through innovative design while
importantly remaining environmentally friendly.
Over 35,000 Environnement S.A’s analyzers equip
the air quality monitoring networks in major cit-
ies worldwide: Mexico, Istanbul, Barcelona, Seoul,
Delhi, Moscow, Paris, Dubai, Bangkok, Beijing...
Environnement S.A’s strong international presence
is supported worldwide by subsidiaries in Italy, In-
dia, United Kingdom, Germany, China and the USA

Choosing 100% petrol,
or 98% electric ?
The electric vehicle market develops, but EV’s range
can’t satisfy occasional long distance trips, and re-
mains a major hindrance to a faster development.
EP Tender is an energy module which is towed by
the EV during a long distance trip, and is available
in car sharing mode.
Long range is required only in 2% of usage, but its
impact on the cost of an EV is excessive. EP Tender
allows to reconcile cost and usage by providing EVs
with the same range as a combustion engine, at a
reasonable cost.
Three success conditions: ease of use (attach in
one go, self-steering when backing), availability (on
line booking, 24/24 access, 50km mesh) and safety
(crash protection of the fuel tank).
Energy source: gasoline, and later hydrogen (fuel
cell) or battery.
A Tender’Lib field test will be deployed in 2016, be-
tween Paris and Rouen with 50 EVs and 5 Tenders,
as well as demonstrations in China and the US.
Commercialization will start in 2017 in France, and
from 2018-2020 in the rest of the EU, North America

Innovative topology of charging
stations for urban electric
The growing introduction of electric buses in car
fleets is an opportunity to find a niche in the vari-
ous segments of the specialised market for electric
bus recharging stations.
For ERCTEEL this will involve designing and mar-
keting an innovative recharging station module
that covers a power range of 40kW to 320kW
(100VDC-950VDC), with a view to increasing the
electric load capacity of the bus’s battery pack.
The use of these charging modules - alone (nor-
mal mode) or in parallel with other modules (quick
mode) - will depend on the application, the need,
the customer’s preference and the location of the
charging terminal (on the bus line, terminus or
depot).
Established in the 1990s in the region of Lyon,
ERCTEEL is specialised in power electronics and
energy conversion applied to transportation and
industry.

A real-time multimodal GPS
Movement is increasingly becoming a major chal-
lenge in urban centres with serious issues arising
from the excessive use of cars to travel to the city
centre and even cover very short distances within
the city centre.
Although the city and suburbs of Lyon are supplied
by a very vast transportation system and the net-
works properly linked up, information is still frag-
mented amongst the different organisations (Local
Government, SNCF, General Councils, Sytral, State,
Highway companies, Grand Lyon, etc.). OPTIMOD
LYON aims at meeting the expectations of users
in terms of information, and to increase and speed
up the modal shift from the personal car to other
means of transport, and enable local governments
to better organise their transportation systems.
The project is currently experimenting ground-
breaking innovations in the Grand Lyon region: The
creation of a single multisource data warehouse has
helped to develop a real-time multimodal information
system.
Optimod’Lyon has helped to design the world’s
first real-time multimodal GPS, providing informa-
tion on all means of transport (cars, public trans-
port, bicycles, personal or shared cars...) available

Reversible solar air-conditioning
A major constraint on the growth of solar energy is
the gap between generation times when the sun-
shine is at its highest and periods of peak demand
that instead occur in the evening or during win-
ter. The need for refreshment and air-conditioning
coincide with the times when solar energy is most
available.
The aim of the SCRIB project is to develop a highly
energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly re-
versible solar air-conditioning system to meet the
thermal needs of industrial and tertiary buildings
over a broad range of temperatures, running from
-60°C to +200°C.
The project proposes a comprehensive solution
that takes account of the specificities of solar ener-
gy. This solution includes energy storage devices
and back-up energy systems.
The project cost allows for it to be developed on a
large scale and its applications offer huge poten-
tial for exportation, especially to sunny and remote
areas with no access to energy grids.

With regard to the high urbanization in China (25 millions new urban citizens per year), this is a pilot project in the context of the twelth five year plan (2011 to 2015) : a 16% decrease in chi-
nese economy energy intensity and a 17% decrease
in carbon intensity.
The project consists in the energy retrofit of 25 buildings (offices and administration, hos-pitals and universities) belonging to the City of Wuhan totaling a retrofitted area of 1 435 000m2, it aims a global reduction of 15 000 tCO
2éq per year.
The principle of Energy Performance Contracts is to
share the risk of not reaching the targeted energy
savings between the project owner and the Con-
tractor. Energy savings are measured and verified
during two years after retrofit and are compared
to contractual terms. The average decrease of en-
ergy consumption is about 30%, in a 7 to 8 years
payback. Energy cost savings aim at paying the re-
furbishment loan. This approach also includes the
training of operating and maintenance municipality
staff, the public display of the results and a coopera-
tion with european cities (Bordeaux, Lille, Echirolles,
Energy Cities).
