[en] A White paper highlights that a revolution of renewable energies is already at work at the world level (opinion and posture of the young generation, of investors, definition of actual objectives in all countries, inversion of the competitiveness curves of the different sources of energy production), and that France must accelerate (reasons of this lagging situation are outlined), that renewable energies are a constituent element of the French national sovereignty (from the perspective of different sectors: agriculture, energy, industry), that renewable energies are bringing answers to challenges faced by the changing society (for jobs, for climate, for citizens). A press communique evokes the Ifop/Ser survey on renewable energies, and the content of the White Paper, and the main lessons learned from this opinion survey as well as some of its key data are presented

[en] This publication presents results of a survey which aimed at highlighting local stakes in terms of energy, and at assessing the perception of residents with respect to wind energy sites. This survey has been performed among representative samples of the populations living about 6 sites (5 existing sites and one projected site) located in different French regions. Some basic characteristics of these sites are indicated. The social-economic characteristics of the surveyed population are highlighted (rather old, owners, rather low incomes). These people are globally in favour of renewable energies, consider wind turbines as an economic and environmental benefit, with a minority of them stating that they are bothered by landscape or sound pollutions. Thus, living near a wind energy installation is positively perceived. The survey also addressed stakes associated by the residents with the local energy production (in terms of energy production and consumption for the territory), the perception of the nearby wind energy site (pollutions is strangely perceived as more important by people who live further away) and its evolution in time

[en] While outlining that objectives defined for offshore wind energy are not satisfying, this publication proposes a critical analysis of this aspect of the French PPE (Energy Multi-year Programming): recall of profession's expectations, analysis of objectives in terms of installed capacities in 2028, analysis of objectives in terms of assigned capacities by 2024. Then, it presents a counter-proposal: an increased number of projects, a successful industrial initiation and a well-balanced territorial development of floating offshore wind energy. Thus the report proposes the launching of additional tenders for both types of offshore wind energy projects (floating or grounded). This counter-proposal is then justified through a discussion of offshore costs, of industrial stakes, and of necessary works regarding tender award.

[en] Illustrated by graphs and tables of key figures (present situation and objectives of production, shares in heat consumption, in electric power production, and so on), this publication aims at highlighting objectives defined for 2050, at framing the development planning, at reaching the intermediate objective defined for 2030 for the different renewable energy vectors. After a synthetic overview, each vector is addressed with a presentation of key figures and objectives. These vectors are: renewable heat (wood energy, waste valorization, thermal solar, geothermal, heat and cold networks), renewable electric power (hydroelectricity, photovoltaic solar, onshore and offshore wind energy, sea energies, electric power and hydrogen storage, electrical bio-energies), renewable gases (injection into networks, bio-NGV, biogas valorised in electric co-generation, other valorisation modes), and renewable fuels

[en] This publication first formulates ten propositions for a successful energy transition: creation of a social Fund for climate, introduction of a 'renewable course' to find a job in energy transition, creation of a climate impact study under the authority of the Prime Minister, development of an energy ambition consistent with that of the EU, development of a new industrial programme for a stronger sector, development of new financing modes, implementation of national programme to phase out fossil energies in still depending sectors, strengthening human resources and steering capacities of the policy of development of renewable energies, implementing a national programme of information on renewable energies, and making France an example in Europe and in the World. Key data and propositions are presented for twelve sectors: biofuels, individual wood-energy, collective wood-energy, onshore wind energy, offshore wind energy, renewable sea energies, renewable gases, geothermal energy, hydroelectricity, photovoltaic solar energy, thermal solar energy, and waste energy valorization. Finally, key data and propositions for a new momentum are presented for different domains: renewable energies in buildings, overseas regions, international market, and innovation

[en] After an introduction on the recent evolutions of the context for renewable energies in France and in the World (an economic revolution, simplification of the legal and regulatory framework, the more active role of consumers), and a graphical presentation of the present status and perspectives of renewable energies in France, this publication first discusses the main strategic orientations for the development of renewable energies: visibility of sectors, clear and balanced economic framework, a new industrial and territorial dynamics. It discusses various operational measures for different sectors: ground-based wind energy, renewable marine energies, hydroelectricity, photovoltaic solar energy, thermodynamic solar energy, thermal solar energy, valorisation of biomass potentials, bio-fuels, biogas, wastes, emerging sectors, domestic wood heating, low and high temperature geothermal energy. The next part proposes and comments transverse operational measures regarding electric grids, overseas territories, Corsica, the housing sector, and international trade

[en] This publication proposes an overview of the different sources of renewable heat or of heat recovery. It addresses the biomass sector (collective, individual and tertiary biomass, domestic wood-based heating, biomass characteristics and stakes), the direct geothermal and heat pumps sectors, the thermal solar sector (key figures, installed power, characteristics and stakes), the sector of energetic valorisation of wastes for heat production (key figures, installed power, stakes and objectives, typology and regulation), and heat networks as energy vectors (key figures, characteristics of heat networks and of cold networks). The development framework is also presented with the objectives of the multi-year energy programming (PPE), the economic and regulatory framework. Agencies and professional bodies are briefly presented

The development framework is also presented with the objectives of the multi-year energy programming (PPE) and the economic and regulatory framework.

[en] This publication first describes how biomethane is a gaseous renewable source of energy, by outlining how biogas production and biomethane injection into the network represent a solution for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, and by describing the different types of biomethane injection sites and the different types of inputs used to supply these sites. Then, after a presentation and a brief discussion of some key data regarding production and consumption, this publication presents the economic context, the regulatory framework and its complementary measures, some emblematic uses of renewable gases, and a map of biomethane injection in Europe. The third part presents the fleet of biomethane injection installations in France, the characteristics of the connected sites, the regional distribution of the biomethane injection sector, and the production of biomethane injection installations. The fourth part discusses the growth perspectives of this sector by showing first the confirmed dynamics of the sector in 2018, then the evolution of the network architecture, next the positive externalities of methanization, and finally the new ways of renewable gas production. In conclusion, the decay of the French biomethane industry costs is finally within reach.
