[en] Since 2008, ADEME has regularly compiled an overview of markets and employment related to the main activities connected with improving energy efficiency and developing renewable sources of energy in France. The activities were selected partly according to their connection with ADEME's field of activity and partly according to their connection with the main policies determined by the Grenelle environment summit. Another factor taken into account was the existence of statistical data enabling the relevant markets to be regularly monitored. Since the very first version of the report, each time it has analysed some thirty market segments, all of which fall into one of three main sectors: - Energy efficiency improvements in residential accommodation: work to improve energy efficiency in existing housing (insulation of outside walls and replacement of windows and doors with more effective solutions), purchase of condensing boilers, energy efficient large household electrical appliances, and compact fluorescent lamps; - Energy efficiency improvements in transport systems: developments in urban public transport systems and railways, including equipment and sales of category A and B private vehicles; - Investments in the production of renewable energy (RE) and sales of renewably sourced energy. Over the years, several new markets have been added, including controlled mechanical ventilation systems (CMV), city bike schemes, etc. For this edition of the report, three new markets have been introduced, each with its own individual 'Market Report': Marine Renewable Energies, Heating Networks, and Hybrid and Electric Vehicles, while thermodynamic domestic boilers and sales of LED lamps have been added to markets for heat-pumps and compact fluorescent lamps respectively. The possibility of including markets related to energy efficiency improvements in industry and non-residential buildings was also investigated, but no regular statistical data enabling proper monitoring of these markets could be found. For each market segment there is a summary consisting of a few pages presenting the context and development of the regulatory framework, followed by developments during the period 2012-2013. There is also a brief round-up of information about the production base, the forecast for 2014 and the outlook for the future. A summary of quantified data for the years 2006-2014 and some elements of methodology are provided in an appendix to the main report. For each market segment, the report estimates the value of the principle equipment and supplies at manufacturers'/customs prices, retail margins, and, where appropriate, the cost of installing such equipment and supplies, as well as the cost of building transport infrastructures and renewable energy production units. Some markets in household equipment maintenance are also evaluated, in addition to sales of renewable energy. Wherever possible, the markets presented include both the domestic market and exports. For equipment and supplies, the share produced in France is estimated by taking foreign trade into account. Where jobs are included, the data refers to direct full time equivalent employment in the activities described. Indirect employment is not included. Thus, for example, the report on the production of bio-fuels does not include jobs in producing the agricultural raw materials used, or jobs in upstream activities, such as the production of agricultural inputs). The report is based on existing statistical data from a number of sources, including French and European statistics systems, surveys conducted on behalf of national bodies), annual reports by professional associations, and other sources such as one-off publications. All the series have been entirely recalculated afresh for each new edition of the report since 2008, if the data selected has been updated. In some cases, a change of source can result in a different method of calculation being used. For example, changes in the way company surveys are conducted and to the various standard industrial nomenclatures meant that revisions had to be made. For this edition, results for 2012 are considered to be provisional, as the 'production/jobs' ratios with respect to the most detailed activities, taken from the national statistics system, were not available for 2012 when the report was being written; similarly, the 2012 data from the 2013 Renewable Energies Report has so far only been estimated. Calculations for 2013 are primarily based on reports from professional organisations and foreign trade statistics. Data from annual production surveys and business accounts are not available, and nor are any detailed company data. The forecast for 2014 is based on interviews with professionals in the sector and ADEME engineers, and for the most part it has been calculated to reflect recent trends in markets and job ratios. More generally speaking, data used for this edition are those available at the end of June 2014. Thus, in particular, data from the 2013 renewable energies report, published in August 2014, which significantly revise some of the series published previously by the SOeS concerning the production of a number of renewable energies, have not been included, and neither have the statistical data on companies published in August 2014. The first part of this document comprises a summary of the main results i.e. changes in markets and jobs during 2012- 2014 and an assessment of the 2006-2013 period. The next three sections each contain the individual 'Market Reports' for one of the three main areas concerned. Each series of reports is preceded by a summary of the main changes observed in the area in question. These three sections are followed by annexes, one of which compares the scope of the activities and the methods used by the ADEME report with the scope and methods used by SOeS for some of the markets

[en] This report aims at determining how to design territorial objectives of carbon neutrality in compliance with the scientific design of carbon neutrality (or criteria for a territorial declination), how to articulate in a scientifically robust way pursuits by companies of carbon neutrality on the one hand, and climate objectives of territories on the other hand, and how to design a governance model which would allow the integration of suitable initiatives at the different local scales. It first proposes an overview of the situation: definition of carbon neutrality, ways to assess emissions and sinks, ways to control carbon neutrality at the international, French, local and company levels. It discusses more precisely how to act for carbon neutrality at a local scale (diagnosis, consistent objectives, actual and shared solutions), and how to reach neutrality of companies and of territories (territorial dimension of the national strategy, territoriality of company neutrality). An appendix more particularly addresses the case of passenger transport in Ile-de-France: content of the transport segment of the SRCAE (Regional Scheme for climate, air and energy) and articulation with PCAETs (Territorial climate-air-energy Plan), present situation for the process of elaboration of PCAETs and role of transport, modal transfer towards public transport and soft mobilities, towards a reduction of the carbon intensity of transports, a better use of vehicles, but weak action for energy saving and efficiency

[en] Since 2008, Ademe has regularly compiled an overview of markets and employment related to the main activities connected with improving energy efficiency and developing renewable sources of energy in France. The activities were selected partly according to their connection with Ademe's field of activity and partly according to their connection with the main policies determined by the Grenelle environment summit. Another factor taken into account was the existence of statistical data enabling the relevant markets to be regularly monitored. The activities analyzed in this report are regrouped in 3 domains presented in 3 separate volumes: the renewable energies sector, the residential building sector, and the transportation sector. Each activity is decomposed into 4 main segments (fabrication, distribution, installation/construction/study, energy production/maintenance) in order to measure the level of activity generated at the national scale by the installation of new renewable energy production capacities.

[en] This reference document sheds light on how water and waste utilities are mitigating their environmental impacts and adapting to climate change. It provides testimonials gathered during the 97. Astee annual congress held in Marseille from June 5 to 8, 2018. It raises questions about the knowledge, tools and methods available, and also provides answers to explain the projects. It demonstrates through nearly 40 feedbacks that water and waste stakeholders are already engaged in climate change mitigation and adaptation. The document provides answers to the following questions: In my area today, what frameworks are being imposed on me? What are the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on my territory: in terms of public health, safety of goods and people, biodiversity, economic activities? What projects, practices or local public policies in France can inspire me? How can water and waste utilities reduce their contribution to greenhouse gas emissions, improve their resistance and resilience to climate change, and adapt their organization?

[en] This document is the guide to understanding the second pillar of the NZI dashboard, also referred to as pillar B. Pillar B is aimed at quantifying a firm's positive impact on the greenhouse gas emissions of its ecosystem. It is composed of two major families: B2: how the company's solutions contribute to decarbonization, B3: the company's financial contribution to projects to reduce emissions outside its value chain. For the first family, this guide offers: 1) A general methodological framework for calculating and reporting avoided emissions generated by corporate solutions; 2) A toolbox containing: Detailed methodologies for calculating avoided emissions for three economic sectors: Mobility, Construction and Energy; Quantified applications for certain solutions in France: Avoidance Factors (FEv) to quickly estimate avoided emissions. Conceptual framework: avoided emissions are the difference between emissions in a reference situation and emissions in a situation with a decarbonizing solution. The emissions in these two situations depend on the context in which the solution is implemented: geography, client profiles, market segments, etc. - Choice of reference situation: two main types of reference situations have been identified; - the previous situation and the average of the market context. Net Zero Initiative describes a typology of contexts that enables the identification of a robust reference situation for a given context. - Timeframe: Avoided emissions are calculated for the entire lifespan of the solution sold by the company. It is possible to update the calculation annually by using the input data corresponding to the year of calculation. - Perimeter: The calculation of avoided emissions is done according to a life-cycle rationale: emissions from production, utilization, end of life, etc. have to be taken into account. - Evolution of emissions though time: The projected decarbonization of energy and other dynamic effects must be taken into account in the calculations. - Precision level of hypotheses: the calculation of avoided emissions may have varying levels of precision: specific to each solution sold, company average, or market average. The level of precision depends particularly on the type of solution and the availability of data. Covered in the present report: Mobility, Construction and Energy. The toolbox provides sector-specific methodological sheets on avoided emissions for each solution/context pair. For certain solutions, it also provides detailed methodological sheets and the first generation of Avoidance Factors (AFv) in France. The guide proposes a method for reporting additional avoided emissions generated by financing projects outside the company's value chain

[en] After an interview and a contribution of experts about the social-political and climate context within the perspective of the adaptation of French territories to climate change, a first set of contributions addresses, reports and comments several regional studies. They more particularly address knowledge and communication stakes, the scale to approach adaptation to climate change, an action plan for south-eastern France, an example of appropriation of results in Languedoc-Roussillon, the study of mutations related to climate change for a better adaptation, a prospective approach from sequential scenarios to recommendations for action, an attempt to assess costs of adaptation to climate change in three sectors in Normandy (agriculture, health and tourism), and a decision aid for the first assessments of adaptation costs. Another set of contributions addresses the necessity of a debate on the stakes of adaptation for territories: articulation of territorial scales, passage from the awareness of vulnerability to adaptation actions, how to ensure an efficient taking into account of adaptation to climate change in public policies

[en] The Net Zero Initiative, led by Carbone 4 along with a dozen of pioneer companies and a high-level Scientific Committee, releases its guidelines for organizations to contribute to the global net-zero. The first document, the Net Zero Initiative reference framework, suggests adopting a common language to all the stakeholders willing to manage their climate action in a sincere, transparent and constructive way, with the aim of reaching net-zero emissions worldwide, while being consistent with the existing tools and methods. Now is the time for action; and to make a more efficient use of it, all the stakeholders need to agree on the same priorities, the same concepts, and the same time horizon. Since the only scientifically valid definition of net zero so far applies only to the planet, and possibly to state actors, the Net Zero Initiative has sought since its creation to think of the company not as an object that can be 'neutral' in itself, but as one that should contribute at the right level to the objective of global and national carbon neutrality. Consequently, the notion of a 'net zero' or 'neutral' company has been abandoned in favor of independent indicators that measure a company's climate performance against the global net zero requirement at any given time. The Net Zero Initiative framework can be seen as a generalization of the carbon footprint concept, since it integrates it (Pillar A) while enriching it with two additional indicators: the company's capacity to participate in the decarbonation of third parties (Pillar B), and its capacity to develop carbon removals (Pillar C). These three Pillars are strictly independent of each other and are not fungible. In 2020, the second season of the Net Zero Initiative wanted to explore two major issues: Measuring Pillar B (avoided emissions): what metrics and calculation rules should be applied to measure a company's ability to contribute to the decarbonation of its ecosystem? Setting objectives for Pillar C (carbon sinks): what is the right level of contribution to increasing carbon removals for a company? These two questions are developed in the 2020-2021 Final Report
