Renewable energy consulting

Against a backdrop of ecological transition, we supported a company in the energy sector wishing to reduce the CO2 emissions of its future floating offshore wind farms.

We carried out a comprehensive analysis of the various CO2 emissions generated by its floating offshore wind farms, from the extraction of materials to the management of the facilities’ end-of-life. We then assessed the various levers that could be used in the short, medium and long term to decarbonize these floating farms.

Our work enabled our client to determine the roadmap to follow to reduce CO2 emissions from its future floating offshore wind farms and move towards net zero.

We supported an energy company in the management of its new offshore assets and its equipment maintenance strategy.

To do this, we first carried out a market study of the most common maintenance practices for this type of asset. We then identified and analyzed the various maintenance market prospects for the coming years, from both a qualitative and quantitative point of view.

Thanks to our work, our client was able to develop a strategic roadmap for the maintenance of its equipment.

We supported an industrial player in the identification and selection of technological paths for current and developing industrial channels for recycling permanent magnets.

To do this, we began by identifying the technologies available on the market. We then analyzed and ranked them from a technical, environmental and economic point of view, in order to propose the most promising approaches to our client.

Thanks to our work, our client was able to identify ways of recovering the magnets from its wind turbines and implement the associated roadmap.

The objective of this project for our client was to assess and prioritize the receptivity of several industries to the use of hydrogen as an energy source in their industrial processes.

In order to do so, our team first analyzed existing patents, market trends, existing technologies, and the practices of key players in the target sectors in terms of hydrogen use. Our team then assessed the interest of target manufacturers for the use of hydrogen as a replacement for natural gas, and the levers for implementing such a change.

Our study thus provided our client with a global vision of the industries to be targeted as a priority for their hydrogen supply offer, as well as an understanding of the key success factors for the implementation of this offer.

Our client wanted an overview of future low-carbon and decarbonized renewable energies that would meet military operational requirements, in order to better orient its future studies.

To do this, we conducted a 3-step investigation: first, we defined the army’s playgrounds and segmented the related uses, then our team identified and segmented the relevant low-carbon and decarbonized energy types, before characterizing and selecting the most relevant technologies for our client.

Finally, 40 energy bricks were analyzed to create an overview report of the army’s future renewable energies, thanks to which our client was able to build its strategy.

A player in the aeronautical industry wanted to position itself in the hydrogen propulsion market for regional aircraft (20 – 100 seats). In order to define the right development strategy, and acquire the necessary skills and partners, this player called on our team to study the market up to 2040, as well as the competitive landscape.

To do this, we drew up an overview of the players positioned in the market, and conducted a competitive analysis of the most threatening competitors, in order to identify the key success factors and the right targets to aim for. To complete our vision of the market, we also carried out a survey of potential users projecting trends to 2040.

Our work enabled our client to refine its roadmap, review and set the right objectives, and focus on the most important aspects to consider in its development.

Alcimed worked with a public player to converge on a common roadmap for the decarbonisation of the entire French space industry.

As part of this mission, we defined a clear vision of the French space industry, as well as identifying and prioritising the levers for achieving realistic scenarios for decarbonising the space sector by 2050. To do this, our team implemented a 3-stage methodology:

1. Analyse the French space industry and identify its issues and challenges in a future low-carbon world;
2. Define a clear vision of decarbonised space by 2050 and identify the main levers for decarbonisation;
3. Articulate the decarbonisation levers in scenarios and draw up a roadmap.

Thanks to our study, our client was able to define and share a clear and concrete roadmap, including the key levers and stages that will enable the space industry to decarbonise by 2050.
