Technologies for power and thermal energy generation
PDF, French. 1 document.
On behalf of the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME, Agence de l’Environnement et de la Maîtrise de l’Energy), the Authority for Environment, Planning and Housing (DREAL, Directions Régionales de L’Environnement, de L’Aménagement et do Logement) and the Region of Brittany, Enea Consulting presents the main technologies for power and thermal energy generation. If most of the technologies are operational or in development in Brittany, such as ocean energy, the scope has been extended to encompass all existing technologies in France in order to give useful references.
Brittany is a peninsula, with regards to both its geographic situation and its energy context. The region has decided to investigate energy and climate issues through the Brittany Energy Conference and to commit to the energy transition. Discussions which have taken place since 2010 at the regional level as well as the national debate on energy transition in 2013 have highlighted the need for educational tools on the main energy generation technologies. Thus, the purpose of this brochure is to share insights with a broad audience.
