Introduction

Industrial decarbonisation: 4 levers to reduce your carbon footprint.

The decarbonisation process rests on 4 families of levers: energy efficiency (the lever with the fastest payback), electrification of processes, low-carbon energy carriers (hydrogen, biomass), CO₂ capture and storage (a breakthrough technology). For an industrial SME, the challenge is to prioritise : where should you start? Which lever offers the best ROI? How should it be funded? What impact will there be on production? Structured support changes everything: carbon assessment that is clear, roadmap that is realistic, funding that is secured, implementation that is operational. This support complements our services in operational excellence — see also our work in the Grand Est region.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Who can benefit from decarbonisation support?+
Any industrial SME or mid-cap facing energy and carbon footprint challenges. We have supported SMEs in steel, chemicals, cement, food processing and electronics.
How long does a decarbonisation project take?+
Assessment: 1-2 weeks. Full audit: 2-3 weeks. Implementation: 6-24 months (depending on the levers). Energy efficiency: 6-12 months. Electrification/hydrogen: 12-24 months.
Do you have experience in my sector?+
Yes. We have supported SMEs across all industrial sectors. We know the specific features of each sector (steel, chemicals, cement, food processing, electronics).
How does the preliminary assessment work?+
A 30-minute meeting (in person or by video call). We ask you about your energy consumption, your challenges and your vision. At the end, we propose an action plan and a quotation. No commitment whatsoever.
Which decarbonisation levers are the most profitable?+
Energy efficiency offers the best ROI (< 3 ans). Électrification et hydrogène sont plus capitalistiques mais offrent une réduction CO₂ plus importante. Nous vous aidons à prioriser selon votre contexte.
