Renewable energy

Challenges

Renewable energies are becoming an increasingly important part of the French and global energy landscape, and politicians and major groups are aware of the importance of developing these energies to address climate change and move towards decentralized energy independence.

However, financing is not always secure and players in the renewable energy sector face several challenges

Cleantech financing

Challenges

Some companies are forced to limit or reduce their greenhouse gas emissions or to use green electricity in accordance with international or regional regulations;
