  Carsharing and Shared Fleets - Business Models and Tools

  Corporate carsharing allows employees to access self-service vehicles without having to manage keys individually. Reservations are made simply online by specifying the date and duration of use. On the day of the trip, the employee can pick up the vehicle using their smartphone, an access badge, or a secure key. Beyond ease of access, carsharing optimizes fleet management through real-time tracking of reservations, vehicle inspections, and maintenance. The right model is the one that fits your specific needs: travel between sites, client visits in suburban areas, technical service calls, executive meetings, and so on. A detailed analysis of current travel patterns is essential before making a decision.

  Deploying EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) and Smart Charging to decarbonize the Fleet

  The transition to an electric vehicle fleet requires companies to completely rethink their approach to mobility and energy management, or risk overloading their local power grid and seeing their operating costs skyrocket. This practical guide walks you through the technical sizing, selection of smart charging technologies, and energy management of your infrastructure to balance the greening of your fleet with economic performance. By implementing the methodology outlined in this guide, you’ll avoid the pitfalls of electrical oversizing, reduce your installation costs by up to 30% through load leveling, and ensure full compliance with the LOM (Mobility Orientation Act) regulations.

  Evaluating low-carbon fleets: electric, hydrogen, and biogas solutions

  Decarbonizing vehicle fleets is now a strategic challenge for companies facing regulatory requirements, greenhouse gas emission reduction targets, and changing energy costs. Choosing between electric, hydrogen, and biogas technologies requires a methodical analysis of usage patterns, operational constraints, and economic prospects. By applying the analysis frameworks in this guide, you’ll optimize your investments through an accurate calculation of TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) that accounts for carbon externalities and charging infrastructure. You will ensure your company’s regulatory compliance in the face of increasing sustainability quotas, while minimizing the risk of technological obsolescence.

  Design of a certified Passivhaus building

  The building sector (residential, commercial, or industrial), which is one of the largest consumers of thermal energy, must commit to energy efficiency to enable France to reduce its fossil fuel consumption by 30% by 2030. This study aims to demonstrate that passive energy buildings and/or positive energy buildings are emerging as the standards of the future to meet this challenge. To illustrate this, this practical guide is organized into the following sections: BEPOS or BEPAS certification? What are the principles of passive construction? How can existing buildings be retrofitted? Does a passive building need to be heated, and if so, with what energy? What about certification?

  Managing compliance for Environmentally Regulated Industrial Facilities

  Ensuring regulatory compliance for industrial and commercial energy facilities presents a major legal and technical challenge, one that is particularly complex due to constant changes in the classification system for facilities subject to environmental protection regulations (ICPE). By implementing the detailed compliance plans outlined in this guide, you will significantly reduce the risk of legal disputes and avoid administrative or criminal penalties related to failure to obtain the required permits or file the necessary declarations. You will enhance your organization’s environmental performance while ensuring access to financial assistance and public subsidies available to support your energy transition.

  Biowaste Management and Ressource recovery

  At the time of this practical guide’s revision, there are 8.3 billion people living on Earth. Every person seeks, at the very least, shelter, clothing, transportation, and education. To meet these various needs, we must produce and/or manufacture goods, consume them, and dispose of waste. The inevitable consequence of this way of life is the staggering accumulation of waste across all sectors. Faced with the increasing volume of food waste, what can or should we do? This guide encourages you to rethink your consumption habits, shifting from a linear consumption model (produce, consume, and discard) to a more responsible and sustainable one.

  Low-cost impedance spectrometer for characterizing electrochemical devices

  Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) can reveal the internal physical processes of a system. For this reason, it has become a powerful diagnostic and characterization technique for electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices, including hydrogen systems WANG (H.), GAILLARD (A.), HISSEL (D.), batteries SHA (J.), LI (X.), QIU (G.), and photovoltaic (PV) systems WANG (X.), ZHENG (Z.), AILLERIE (M.), PERA (M.-C.), HISSEL (D.). By applying small electrical disturbances and analyzing the voltage-current response over a predefined frequency range, one can obtain the system’s EIS, which provides relevant information about these internal dynamic processes.

  Gas bioconversion An opportunity for the ecological transition

  In the face of the climate emergency, the valorization of industrial and biological gases (e.g., H2, CO2, CH4) represents a strategic lever for a low-carbon circular economy. This article analyzes the potential of their bioconversion by microorganisms to produce biofuels, chemical compounds, and proteins. It presents the microbiological foundations, available processes, critical operating conditions, technological bottlenecks, and prospects for industrial integration.

  Rethinking Public Lighting: From Energy Efficiency to Territorial Night Governance

  Public lighting is undergoing major transformations driven by technological innovation, energy transition and growing environmental concerns. Long viewed as a technical infrastructure ensuring visibility and safety, it is now part of broader territorial strategies integrating energy efficiency, environmental protection and social acceptance. This article examines recent developments by combining technological, regulatory and territorial perspectives. It highlights the role of planning tools, the importance of nocturnal uses and social perceptions, and the emergence of a more systemic approach to public lighting at the territorial scale.

  Energy Recovery from Nuclear Waste Generated by the French Nuclear Industry

  The French nuclear industry relies on uranium-235 fission, which represents only 0.7% of natural uranium, requiring enrichment. This process generates large amounts of depleted uranium, considered waste in thermal reactors, along with spent fuel. However, these materials still contain valuable elements such as uranium and plutonium. Fast neutron reactors can convert uranium-238 into plutonium-239, greatly increasing energy extraction. This article outlines these materials and their potential uses, including MOX fuel and specific applications such as long-lasting nuclear batteries.
