Les émissions de CO2 provenant de combustibles fossiles ont été multipliées par plus de 4 depuis 1950 (source AIE 2004)
World energy Consumption
1950 – 2000 :

Population x 2
2000-2050:

There’s much more Energy than Oil

Green energy =
½ of growth in energy needs
1/3 of growth in Elec needsOver 1990 -
2007
Green energy preserves its
market share in a flat economy
but NO increase !

But the system allows to decentralise energy production and to tend towards energy sufficency for buildings
Making money with energy savings ?

• Energy savings return

Housing construction growth = 3 x population growth
Yearly new constructions < 1% of total existing constructions
Natural materials DO REALLY HELP to reduce the environmental impacts of the construction phase
Building = designed by an architect,
sometime forgotten fluxes
Buildings CO2 = CO2 Building phase + Lifetime CO2 Energy usages + Lifetime CO2 Induced transport + CO2 Demolition
Buildings CO2 = CO2/kWh x kWh/m2 x m2/resident x Residents/household x Nb households + Mobility of inhabitants

New buildings are 6 x more carbon intensive than retrofit

High Tech, Capital intensive
o Renewable energy productiono Electric Transport o Alternative fuels o Dessalinisation o Green-IT (ECO-TIC)o Green Buildingso Carbon Credits, markets o Housing retrofit = jobs provider
Financial bubbleso Raw materialso Crops o fresh water o Ground
Green Economy 1.0
Large classical corporations,Green = better and more expensive
max 10% of Market share
Low Tech, Low Cost
o Local production for local marketso Inspiration from Dev. Countries o R – activitiesRefuse, Reduce, reuse,, repair, repurpose, recycle, recover, respect, rethink, …, o Closed loop economy (shortage
value)o PSS & Idling capacityo Shorter value chains , vertical
integration…
Green =o New services, products o Alternative marketing o Alternative business models,
pricing o New values, like TRUSTGreen Economy 2.0
Small scale, slow, network, collaborative lifestyles,
Green = different and cheaper Min 90% of Market share
Initiating changes, evaluating risks

Environmental Risks accross the full Value Chain What if ?
Indirect >> direct Dependency vs impacts
Less , Better, Differently, someting else From product to service
Increase lifetime & guarantee, making things last longer, PSS Promote vertical integration (margin management) & B2C
Initiate, Develop and conslidate postivie activities : More fun, more earnings, less environmental impacts.
New economic models for new activities : Green grey , lifecycle costs, etc.
Important changes are made by people like you and me
