Airports and climate: adaptation becomes a business continuity challenge
An aircraft unable to take off due to extreme heat. A runway rendered unusable after a heavy rainfall event. Infrastructure weakened by more frequent and intense storms.
For a long time, climate challenges in the aviation sector were primarily addressed through the lens of decarbonisation. Today, however, another issue has become unavoidable: the ability of airport infrastructure to remain operational within an increasingly volatile climate context.
LCA of a storage project: How to assess its environmental benefits?
Energy storage has become essential to our energy transition and provides a solution to the challenge posed by the intermittency of renewable energy. However, assessing the carbon footprint of a storage facility over its entire life cycle (whether it is stand-alone, coupled with a power generation plant, or used for self-consumption) proves to be a real challenge. How can we demonstrate that an asset that does not produce energy can be environmentally friendly?
Climate Risks: The Greatest Danger Is Failing to Anticipate
Industrial leaders, infrastructure managers, (air)port operators: what if climate risks were already reshaping your performance… without you having fully integrated them into your strategy?
Eco-design: a strategic tool for sustainable innovation
In a context marked by the strengthening of environmental regulations and the acceleration of corporate climate commitments, eco-design is becoming an essential lever.
Eco-modulation criteria for photovoltaic panels: understanding and anticipating
The energy transition is not just about producing renewable electricity; it also involves rethinking equipment design to limit their environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle. As such, the AGEC law introduced the principle of eco-modulation, applied to the photovoltaic sector through Soren.
EPD: The international standard for steering your environmental performance
In a landscape of increasingly stringent environmental requirements, the EPD (Environmental Product Declaration) has established itself as the universal benchmark. It serves as a strategic lever for manufacturers looking to showcase the environmental performance of their products on an international scale.
Environmental Impact Assessment: does it apply to my photovoltaic project?
Are you planning to install a solar power plant or a photovoltaic project? Before you get started, one essential question arises: is your project subject to an Environmental Impact Assessment ?
FDES & PEP: How can you promote the environmental performance of your products?
Environmental awareness is now shaping purchasing decisions, and the market increasingly demands tangible proof of environmental performance. In this context of growing transparency, manufacturers and industrial companies must be able to quantify and demonstrate the impacts of their products across their entire life cycle.
ADEME 2022 methodological guide on the carbon footprint of projects: what you need to know !
The ADEME Methodological Guide emphasises that environmental authorities consider greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to be insufficiently taken into account in environmental assessments. With increasing climate transparency requirements and carbon neutrality targets, renewable energy and recovery project developers are required to integrate carbon impact from the design phase onwards.
Published in 2022 but still relevant today, the ADEME methodological guide proposes a clear method that is increasingly required by the French Regional Environmental Authority Missions (MRAe).
In this article, discover what this guide covers, the key points to remember and concrete strategies for use in your project.
Eco-modulation of photovoltaic panels : Soren’s criteria
A photovoltaic panel is not just a generator of green electricity: it is also a product with a full life cycle, environmental impacts, and an end-of-life phase that must be anticipated. This is the purpose of eco-modulation, introduced by the French government and implemented by Soren, the approved eco-organization for the collection and recycling of solar panels in France.
Transition Plan: Turning challenges into Opportunities for Your Business
The challenges, the inventory, the concrete strategies and the expected benefits: discover how a transition plan can significantly reduce the environmental and energy footprint of organizations
What is a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)?
In a context where ecological transition has become a strategic priority with growing requirements, companies must demonstrate their environmental commitment. This commitment must be based on reliable and verifiable data.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has emerged today as the reference method for rigorously assessing the environmental impacts of a product, service, or process.
But concretely, what is an LCA? What are its objectives and key steps?
Project carbon impact assessment: how to carry it out effectively ?
Climate impact is now a crucial issue in project development. Whether building a business park, setting up a photovoltaic plant, or renovating a major road, project developers are increasingly required to assess and reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This process involves carrying out a project carbon impact assessment.
Photovoltaic glare study : is my solar project affected?
When installing solar panels, the primary goal is to generate clean energy and optimize efficiency. But have you ever heard of the risks of glare or light reflection?
Tenders available with an ECS certificate
On 26 March 2025, the Commission de Régulation de l’Energie, which is the French Energy Regulation Council, published the tender specifications for ground-mounted photovoltaic power plants. These specifications applied to the bidding period which ran from 2 June to 13 June 2025. To respond, photovoltaic developers had to submit the ECS score calculated using the PPE2 V1 methodology for the photovoltaic modules they wished to install.
