The French situation

• France among the leaders for non carbon energy
  production
• France the 2nd main renewable energy producer
  from EU

4
The French carbon balance

• Performance Carbon
• The 4th best rank in term of carbon intensity
  from fuel combustion in OCDE on 2005
• (metric tonnes of carbon from fuel combustion
  per 100 US dollars of GDP)

The new context

• The European Climate energy Package (3X20)
  decided by the European Council on December 12
  2008, put EU on the way to improve its energy
  efficiency of at least 20, to increase at least
  up to 20 the share of renewable energy
  production and to achieve a 20 reduction of CO2
  emissions by 2020
• To divide French CO2 emissions by a factor 4 from
  1990 to 2050
• The Grenelle de lenvironnement

7
The Grenelle, an unprecedented processin 4 steps

• 1. Development phase for elaboration of proposals
  for action, from July to September 2007This work
  was carried out within the frame of 6 working
  groups, gathering representatives of all the
  stakeholders
• Fighting against Climate change and controlling
  energy demand group
• Preserving biodiversity and natural resources
  group
• Establishing a health-friendly environment"
  group
• Adopting sustainable production and consumption
  patterns group
• Building a green democracy group
• Promoting ecological development patterns
  favouring employment and competitiveness group
• and two intergroup workshops devoted to
  genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and
  waste management.

8
2-3 and 4 steps, from proposal to implementation

• 2. Consultation phase, late September and early
  October 2007
• The findings were discussed at regional
  meetings, and in an Internet forum resulting in
  268 commitments .
• 3.The Decision negotiation phase on the major
  options, October 24-26th 2007 was concluded by a
  President speech who announced, that these
  commitments would be fulfilled
• 4. Implementation phase is now ongoing, starting
  with the legislative process to be completed in
  2009
• A first law for the implementation of the
  Grenelle de lenvironnement has been already
  approved by the Assemblée Nationale on October
  and will be submitted to the vote of the Sénat
  expected in the mid of February, before final
  approval.
• The draft of the second law on the national
  commitment for environment has been submitted to
  the ministers Council on January 7th entering now
  in the validation process

Post Grenelle / Energy policy
The priority Energy efficiency

• Building the first priority
• Transport to curb down the emissions
• Industry and agriculture to put progressively
  the emissions permits to auction

• Drastic reduction of energy consumptions

10
Breakdown of France total final energy
consumption in 2006
Building
Total (2006) 162 Mtoe
11
Breakdown of CO2 from energy emissions
Total (2006) 396 million t CO2
12
The Building sector a great potential for
energy savings

• Context
• Consumes the most energy of all sectors
• 43 of total final energy, and
• 25 of Frances CO2 emissions, resulting both
  from the important use of electric heating and
  the high rate of nuclear power production (80)

13
The building sector

• The stakes
• The most energy consuming sector
• 44 of the final energy consumption (71 Mtoe)
• 20 of national GES emissions
•  Grenelle  targets
• Achievement of a 40 energy savings before the
  end of 2020

The transport sector

• The stakes
• The highest GHG emissions
• 26 of national GHG emissions
• 32 of total final energy consumption (51 Mtoe)
• Grenelle Target
• 20 reduction of GHG emissions before 2020,
  back to the 1990 level

18
Transport sector

Renewable Energy, Grenelle Targets

• Renewable energy from 16 Mtoe (9)to 36 Mtoe (
  23)
• Heat from wood 9 Mtoe -gt 13 (4 Mtoe)
• Heat from Cogeneration 0 -gt 2 (2 Mtoe)
• Solar and geothermal heat including heat pumps
  0 -gt 3 (3 Mtoe)
• Heat from waste and biogas 1 -gt 2 (1 Mtoe)
• Total Heat production 10 Mtoe -gt 20 Mtoe ( 10)
• Biofuels 1 Mtoe -gt 4 (3 Mtoe)
• Hydro 5 Mtoe -gt 5 Mtoe
• Wind 0 Mtoe -gt 5 Mt0e (5 Mtoe)
• Cogeneration (Power production) 0 -gt 1 (1
  Mtoe)
• PV, geothermal power, miscellaneous 0 -gt 1 (1
  Mtoe)
• Total electricity 5 Mtoe -gt 12 Mtoe ( 7)

21
The Grenelle law N1 and energy

• Many additional measures like

• A balance with research funding for nuclear civil
  application on one side and clean technologies
  and environmental protection on the other side is
  to be reach before the end of 2012
• 1 for research on civil nuclear application
  1 for research on Clean technologies including
  renewable energy and prevention of harmful
  environmental effects
• Demonstration fund on energy managed by ADEME
• (150 million euros already available in addition
  to the ADEME budget for 2009)
• Feasibility study for a Climate-energy taxation
  applied on fossil energy consumption considering
  effects of GES emissions and balanced by an
  equivalent reduction of the global tax system
• First ban of inefficient products expected by
  2010 for incandescent light bulbs

22
Social and economic impact of the Grenelle laws
N1, example for the building sector
A total estimated investment higher than 205
billion euros before 2020 in the Building sector

• Including 192 Bn for the thermal rehabilitation
  of existing buildings and 13 Bn for new
  buildings anticipating further thermal
  regulations
• Relevant energy savings estimated up to 130 Bn
  over the life time of these buildings

A large set of economic tools tax reductions,
eco-loans and loans at 0 rate, White
certificates
Globally large works (Building , Transport,
Energy, Waste) represent - investment close to
400 Bn (35 Bn / year) - close to 500 000 new
or saved employments.
23
ADEME as a precursor is now considered as one of
the main actor for the implementation of the
Grenelle

• ADEME "precursor"
• The principal Grenelle measures were supported or
  have deeply implied ADEME the zero rate
  eco-loan, bonus-malus, Bilan Carbone,
  environmental labeling of products etc.
• New funds for ADEME
• "Fond démonstrateur recherche" - large
  démonstrative RD projects 400 millions / 4
  years
• 150 Millions for 2009
• "Waste fund" - waste RD projects "Heat fund" -
  heat from renewable énergies 204 millions for
  2009 (expected)

24

Intervention Budget
Waste
Energy
Air quality and noise
Cross-sectoral action
Total of 551 million euros for initial
provisional budget (259 million euros in
2008) Including research (43 million
euros) Including Grenelle measures 319 million
euros (with the Heat fund - 154 million euros
waste fund - 50 million euros) To be added
demonstration fund on energy 150 million euros
25
Energy cooperation, keys for success

• Ambitious goals and targets
• ...giving strong priority to both energy
  efficiency and the promotion of renewable
  energies...
• requiring the participation of all sectors and
  all players...
• and the use of all public policy tools

26
An appropriate Framework for exchanges of best
practices The Mediterranean Solar Plan

• For the compliance to the distributed target for
  20 GWe of power generation from adequate mix of
  renewable energy
• To deal with challenges on both demand and supply
  side, toward an objective of 20 of energy
  savings by 2020 referring to 2005 energy
  consumption (equivalent to a 60 Mtoe reduction)
• The MEDENER network 12 Mediterranean energy
