This program introduces the participants to the world of technologies that will enable a Neutral Carbon Transition, in a very broad sense as well as to its eco-system within ENGIE.

The program offers :

> An introduction for the participant to the vocabulary adopted when discussing technologies allowing them to quickly understand the maturity and risks related to a technology from a technical and environmental point of view.
> To discover more specifically different blocks of technologies : Renewable Energies, Green Mobility, Smart buildings and cities, Green gases (biogas, hydrogen, synthetic gas), Energy Storage, Enabling Technologies (Artificial Intelligence, Big data, Cybersecurity, …).
> A focus on the concept of Life Cycle Assessment to understand the true environment benefits of different technologies and thus avoid the pollution displacement trap.
> An overview on the wide variety of literature available within ENGIE as well as through ENGIE’s subscriptions to external sources of information.

Targeted audience: New comers and managers (all type of backgrounds)

Objectives

> Understand how the different technologies work and how they contribute to a neutral carbon transition.
> Be able to quickly (within a few clicks) obtain information on a particular technology from different internal and external sources and understand whether the technology is emerging, under development or mature.
> Understand who are the key players behind the development of the technology and behind the deployment of the technology. Who collaborates with whom? What are the risks involved?
> Discover what are the possible opportunities and the technical, environmental and economic challenges left.
> Be up to date with ENGIE’s level of involvement in the technology and the useful contacts within ENGIE.
