How fast can we transition?

Mitigating climate change calls for a rapid transformation of our energy system. How fast can we actually transition?

L'écosystème des technologies climatiques

Le secteur des technologies climatiques est actuellement en plein essor, un explicatif pour comprendre de quoi il s'agit

transition=replace

The technologies needed to decarbonize are being deployed at an exponential pace, hinting at a rapid transition. However, their share remains in the minority.

Industry and energy: very strong links

Reindustrializing France will require, among other things, to quickly make choices about electricity production to avoid network constraints.

Fluxes, not stocks: The real challenges of metallic resources for the energy transition

Do we have enough metals for the energy transition?

Transitioning away from fossil fuels

While our economy is highly dependent on fossil fuels, replacing them by low-carbon energy sources is now crucial.

Is coal back in favor?

The strong economic recovery in 2021 and the energy crisis have led to a sharp rise in the use of coal. While its use is set to decline sharply.

Why reindustrialization is also a climate issue

The reindustrialization of a country like France, which already has low-carbon electricity, is a powerful lever for reducing the carbon footprint.
