Energy Transition

Green energy, also known as renewable energy, comes from sources that renew themselves naturally and are considered sustainable. It comes from sources such as water, sun, wind and biomass. Using these energies helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change.

Renewable energy is supplied by the earth, the sun, water and plants, and generates little to no waste. It helps fight the greenhouse effect and CO2 emissions. Come discover the world of these new energy sources. The planet offers these benefits- let's protect it!

SOLAR ENERGY

Photovoltaic: sunlight is converted into electricity using semiconductor materials. The electricity produced can be used directly, stored in batteries, or fed into the grid. It is installed on the roofs of houses or buildings, as well as on facades.

WIND ENERGY

Wind turbines: a giant windmill, energy is produced by wind generators that capture the wind's kinetic energy through their blades, which in turn drive a generator that produces renewable electricity.

BIOMASS

There are 3 families: wood energy (solid biomass), biogas, and biofuels.

• Wood energy: Wood-based fuel (firewood such as logs, wood pellets, forestry chips and sawdust or wood shavings)
• Biogas: Organic matter that releases biogas as it decomposes, through a fermentation process (anaerobic digestion)
• Biofuels: Ethanol, produced from 70% sugar beet and 30% cereals, or biodiesel, made from oilseeds (rapeseed and sunflower)

GEOTHERMAL ENERGY

Harnessing heat stored underground- the deeper you dig, the higher the temperatures reached. You can install a heat pump that sends down cold water, which comes back up hot.
