It focuses on 3 main levers:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\">Improve the\u2019<b>Energy efficiency <\/b>of industries;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Transition to sources of\u2019<b>renewable energy\u00a0<\/b>;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Allow the <b>storage <\/b>of CO2.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">In the face of\u2019<b>climate emergency <\/b>which we are facing and the need to develop <b>sustainable solutions<\/b>\u00a0; la #d\u00e9carbonation est devenue aujourd\u2019hui un sujet fondamental dans le secteur de l\u2019industrie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Indeed, in France, the industrial sector represents <b>1\/5<\/b><span class=\"s2\"><b><sup>e<\/sup><\/b><\/span><b> of our greenhouse gas emissions<\/b> and more <b>90% of emissions<\/b> of the GES of this sector correspond to <b>carbon emissions<\/b> Carbon dioxide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">With the crucial need for decarbonization thus having become one of France's main objectives, it is important to\u2019<b>act quickly<\/b>. But then, what solutions are available for us to achieve this goal?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">2 \u2013 What concrete actions for decarbonization?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Concrete goals <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">In 2015, France published its \u00abNational Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC),\u00bb providing guidelines for implementing the transition to an economy <b>low-carbon<\/b>, <b>circular<\/b> and <b>Durable<\/b>. The objective of this strategy is to achieve a decrease of:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\"><b>35%<\/b> any kind of greenhouse gas emissions by <b>2030<\/b>\u00a0;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\"><b>81%<\/b> any kind of greenhouse gas emissions by <b>2050<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">The vision of this strategy would be to achieve a rate of <b>Zero emission<\/b> THE <b>CO2<\/b> nettle on the horizon<b> 2050<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Concrete actions <\/i><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">To achieve its zero-carbon objective, France has implemented an investment plan <b>France 2030<\/b>. The goal of this plan is to sustainably transform key sectors of the economy such as energy, hydrogen, etc. by investing in projects.\u2019<b>technological innovation <\/b>and of\u2019<b>industrialization<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Support mechanisms for industrial decarbonization have been put in place to accelerate the energy transition and reduce GHG emissions. France has established a budget of over <b>5 billion euros<\/b> with the aim of deploying decarbonization solutions in industrial sites to meet the <b>ecological challenges<\/b> global.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">610 million euros have been deployed to support innovation and the development of new technologies in order to:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li3\">Promote the decarbonization of industries.;<\/li>\n<li class=\"li3\">Maximize French industrial benefits in the decarbonization market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p3\">So, where do we find these support resources for businesses?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Within the framework of France 2030, many <b>calls for proposals<\/b> developed by state actors have emerged; the objective is to\u2019<b>to encourage<\/b> and of\u2019<b>accompany<\/b> businesses in the development of innovative solutions to meet the challenges of #decarbonization.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">We present some of the entities implementing project financing:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">The <b>FrenchTech<\/b>, a collective mobilization movement of French territorial ecosystems for the growth of startups and digital companies. Their mission is to make France a very attractive country for startups wishing to expand internationally. Various support programs for companies are implemented by FrenchTech. Following their application to the FrenchTech programs, companies are evaluated first based on their potential impact and growth, and then a second time on their deployment and governance capabilities.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"ul2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">The\u2019<b>ADEME<\/b>, an organization supporting businesses, local authorities, etc., to accelerate the reduction of energy consumption, develop renewable energies, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The main objective of this organization is to support businesses in successfully making the ecological transition. The project selection process by ADEME is relatively rigorous. Companies must submit a complete file, which will be evaluated by experts based on different criteria such as energy efficiency and environmental performance. The projects are then ranked, and project leaders are individually informed of the results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"ul2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">The <b>BPI France<\/b>, The French public investment bank, with the mission of financing and developing businesses. Climate-related topics have become a priority for BPI, with numerous calls for projects aimed at decarbonization and ensuring ecological transition being implemented annually. Similar to the calls for projects implemented by ADEME, companies are required to submit a complete application to respond to BPI France's calls for projects. The applications are then evaluated by experts, and an aid amount is allocated to the most innovative and realistic projects.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"ul2\">\n<li class=\"li3\">We will also find financing programs established by regional entities such as <b>Occitanie Region<\/b> or even the <b>New Aquitaine, <\/b>very often in collaboration with the previously mentioned entities. Project selection is also done by submitting applications, which must contain a lot of information such as the project's impact, budget, risk level, team capabilities, or degree of innovation. Projects are once again evaluated and selected by experts from various organizations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Larger-scale entities also exist; the <b>European Commission<\/b>, for example, regularly implements aid programs to support innovative projects with impact. Depending on the type of program integrated, the selection process can be more or less rigorous. As with many programs, an application is requested and must sometimes be accompanied by presentations and\/or videos to explain the project in detail. Selection processes are often carried out in several stages and the elements requested by the\u2019<b>European Innovation Council (EIC)<\/b> are becoming increasingly precise depending on the selection stage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">3- And Water Horizon? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p3\">@WaterHorizon offers a solution for distributing <b>Hot<\/b> and of <b>renewable cold<\/b> to one <b>remote consumer<\/b> from the <b>deadly heat<\/b>, residual heat from a process or product that is not used by it, rejected by industries. Thanks to the <b>circular operation<\/b> our solution, Water Horizon enables large thermal energy consumers to do without heat and cold production solutions that use <b>carbon sources<\/b> and some <b>refrigerants<\/b> harmful to the environment; we will thus bring sobriety and ecology to the colossal industrial refrigeration market.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Thus, the Water Horizon project fits perfectly within the scope of the\u2019<b>innovation<\/b> in the service of <b>sustainable development<\/b> and of the\u2019<b>Circular economy<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The main obstacle to the massive use of waste heat as a thermal energy source is the <b>proximity<\/b> you <b>producer<\/b> and of <b>consumer<\/b>. Thanks to its technological solution <b>mobile<\/b> innovative, WH changes this paradigm by transporting this energy to another point where it can be consumed as either heat or cold (down to -10\u00b0C) depending on needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Heat and cold markets are increasingly <b>Pending<\/b> of renewable solutions. In Europe, renewable energy sources only represent <b>23%<\/b> of thermal consumption. @WaterHorizon therefore arrives at the right time to respond to the <b>increasing demand<\/b> of heat, but also of renewable cold which is increasingly becoming a priority with the <b>Climate disruption<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">Our ambition is to become a major player in decarbonization to offer everyone a better and greener industrial future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p13\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1- La d\u00e9carbonation, qu\u2019est-ce que c\u2019est ?
