The Energies of Tomorrow in the Sud Provence-
Alpes-Côte d’Azur region
• A model territory that is implementing new energy strategies directly linked to the
Mediterranean of the Future initiative.
• Committed cooperation by a broad coalition of private- and public-sector actors to
propel the energy transition and develop the green economy.
• 3 major spheres of operation that bring together regional actors: low-carbon energy
production, energy efficiency, and energy storage.
• Public- and private-sector focus on innovative and specialized submarkets of the
low-carbon energy industry: hydrogen and renewable gas, floating offshore wind
turbines, solar & photovoltaics, energy storage, retrofitting buildings for energy
efficiency, water & energy, Smart Grids, and nuclear energy.
• Emblematic programs and projects like Flexgrid: the biggest energy grid deployment
program in France to integrate renewable energies and electric transportation while
increasing overall energy efficiency and flexibility.
• An overall political and economic environment that empowers the major regional
strategies on climate, air, energy, land use, sustainable development, jurisdictional
equality, waste, water, risk management, and biodiversity.
Examples of regional resources
• #3 region in France in terms of installed hydropower capacity and hydroelectric production (15% of total French
production)
• 130 waterways, 104 drainage basins and 328 dams
• 68 billion cubic meter of water

ITER, the path toward the sun’s energy on earth
An extensive coalition of nations have come together to create a new energy
source that is both clean and sustainable: nuclear fusion. The ITER site at Saint-
Paul-lez-Durance will be home of the world’s largest tokamak chamber for
generating fusion reactions. The principle of fusion energy is to make hydrogen
atoms collide and fuse together at intense heat to form helium atoms. This is the
same process that occurs in stars and it creates enormous amounts of energy
while emitting no greenhouse gases or hazardous waste. ITER aims to prove that
this quasi-limitless source of energy can be generated for large-scale use.

ENERGIES OF TOMORROW 14Focus: City of Energies platform
With its tradition of excellence in the energy sector and its ambition of
supporting companies, CEA Cadarache launched the City of
Energies project.
Founded to foster connections between applied and industrial research, the
City of Energies focuses on four strategic missions: solar energy, extended
Smart Grids, energy efficient Mediterranean construction, and biomasses,
including 3rd generation biofuels based on microalgae. The different
platforms host demonstration projects and provide shared services that
facilitate R&D programs for both private companies and personnel from
CEATech. To this date, more than 30 partnership contracts have already
been signed representing more than €71 million in investments. A dedicated
zone for welcoming partner businesses, En’Durance Energies, is being
developed to reinforce the CEA Cadarache cluster.
• Total area for commercial development: 12 hectares in 2018
• Total potential floorspace: 41 600 m²
The technological innovation of the companies involved in the project could lead to the emergence of
major PROJECTS in the energy sector.

First POWER-TO-GAS industrial demonstrator in France
Jupiter 1000 is an innovative industrial demonstration project for Power-
to-Gas technology. Located at Innovex at the Port of Marseille Fos, a platform
dedicated to the energy transition, this project tests the process of
transforming surplus electricity from renewable sources into gas as a
storage method. The surplus electricity is converted to hydrogen by two
electrolyzers and into methane via a methanation synthesis process using a
reactor and a structure that captures CO2 from neighboring industrial
smokestacks. The project takes advantage of the intersection between gas and
electricity networks and the proximity of industrial CO2.

They invested in Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur
Klearia, water analysis systems – Nice
“We chose the Côte d’Azur and Nice Eco-Vallée because of the presence of so many
major industry players, the broad network of research centers, and the unbeatable
quality of life.”
DOOSAN BABCOCK, French subsidiary – Aix-en-Provence
“As our company specializes in industrial engineering in the energy sector, Provence
quickly became the obvious choice for us. The diversity of production methods was the
territory’s major attraction.”
Quechen Silicon Chemical, silica factory – Port of Marseille Fos
Christine Cabau-Woehrel, president of the Port Authority of Marseille Fos: “Due to the size of the
investment, the Quechen Silicon Chemical investment will require abundant resources in terms of
property, energy, industrial water, and international connectivity. Today the port presents major
advantages at a European scale for welcoming international investors interested in reaching Europe as
well as Africa and the Middle East.”
GRT Gaz France – Fos-sur-Mer
“GRT Gaz went on a ‘Tour de France’ to find the territory that was most favorable to the development of the
Jupiter 1000 project and it was in Provence that the company found the ideal site to create its Power-to-Gas
branch.”
