  1. Green Energy and Sustainable Materials in Essonne Key facts, innovation and incubation practices

  2. Context • Essonne is a department located in South of Paris. • 1, 2 M Habitants, 1,804 km2 • Urban and outer urban in the North • Agricultural in the South ORSAY PARIS EVRY ETAMPES

  3. Essonne’s policy • Leading role of General Council of Essonne : • Greenhouse Gas Emissions Auditing • 2 most emitting sectors : transport & housing (heat) • Identifying priority actions • Helping and facilitating initiatives of green energy & sustainable materials production • Helping and facilitating economic development in the field of cleantech (creation of NOVA GREEN)

  4. Green energy in Essonne • Creation in 2012 of an inventory and information tool regarding Essonne’s existing installations in green energy • New projects promotion • www.energie.essonne.fr

  5. Green energy in Essonne Several installations using various local resources: • 2 biogas plants (+ 1 project), including one from household waste • Windmills • Biomass burning • Geothermy

  6. Innovations & incubation practices in green energy field • Creation of an innovation platform for waste valorisation technologies • Joint project x • Business model : R&D facilities and space rent for industrial pilots • Subjects: • Heat recovery • Biogas valorisation • Other waste valorisation • Debut : Mars 2013 ! + recycling (sustainable materials)

  7. Transition : making green energy with sustainable materials • Wheat culture Coop in Etampes (South of Essonne) • Valorizing their residues by making a new kind of “agro-pellet” • Good Lower heating value • Selling to local public authorities for their utilities with wood-fired heating systems

  8. Sustainable materials General Council of Essonne created 5 years ago a « materiautheque », a sustainable materials library targetting professionals, students and the mainstream public.

  9. Innovations & incubation practices in sustainable materials field • R&D facility : Platform in Evry for bio-materials test (fatigue, degradability, waterproofness…) • Several start-ups based on innovative valorization of biomaterial : • Algae • Whimp & miscanthus

  10. Conclusion for start ups in green energy & sustainable materials • High potential markets • Local resources • Local market ? • Lot of innovation • From local public R&D • Time to market : difficulties to meet their customers W S • Capital intensive market • Long decision making cycles O T
