Paris (France-UE). 22/07/2011 - 3B Conseils - Brigittte Bornemann. Editted and translated by Christopher Longmore.
Following on from Thursday's article, marine renewable energies are now in the sights of both civilian and the defence industries. Jean-Marie Poimboeuf, president of GICAN and Jean-Louis Bal, president of SER (Syndicate of Marine Renewables), on July 13th sent a letter to Christian Steiff, president of the jury of IEED to indicate their support for FRANCE ÉNERGIES MARINES*, the consortium led by."The GICAN members at the same time made clear their sujpport was alongside AREVA, DCNS, STX Europe and Pôles Mer Bretagne and PACA, all deeply involved in the marine reneables industry...
Indeed, marine renewable energies for France represent an impoartant challenge in terms of diversification of energy produciton and industrial competitiveness. The energy potoential as well as the strengths in naval shipbuilding and offshore engineering, bring together the cards needed for the development of a real industrial sector, that has to be brought up to European and global standards. At the beginning, the development of an emerging sector needs a pooling of the players and the support of the state in unblocking technical obstacles. The first ADEME calls for tender chose 5 technical demonstrators; this was an improtant first step. Beyond those projects, limited in time, lies the challenge of capitalising on the results, analysing what was learnt, developing the prototypes, and on to new projects.… in a word creating a real dynamism in the various technological sectors involved.....During the one day of Juy 19th, the DCNS incubator site at Brest welcomed three notable visitors: Jean-Yves Le Drian, president of the Brittany Regional Council; Rajendra K. Pachauri, president of the GIEC (group of international cliamte change experts), accompanied by Serge Lepetier, French ambassador to the UN climate change negotiations. The purpose was to meet the assembly teams for the first OpenHydro tidal turbine that is to be installed offshore from Paimpol-Bréhat in north Brittan.

* France Energies Marines is a consortium of 54 industriel companies, co-ordinated by Yann-Hervé de Roeck (IFREMER). The first management meeting will be presided by EDF. IFREMER is presided by Jean-Yves Perrot
** The call for tenders for projects of excellence in the domaine of carbon free energy is managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR). Endowed with a total budget of €1bn ,« Instituts d’Excellence dans le domaine des Energies Décarbonées» (IEED) will allow the emergence of 5 to 10 IEED in this world class incubator.
