Key technologies 2015: 17 are related to energy
Carried out every 5 years since 1995, the study of Key Technologies makes it possible to provide companies, economic actors and public authorities with a frame of reference on the technologies of the future.
Presented by the Ministry of Industry on March 15, 2011, the 2015 Key Technologies study identified 85 key technologies divided into seven business sectors, including that of Energy. Like the other fields of activity, the energy sector has been the subject of a strategic monograph which on the one hand, analyzes the challenges and trends, and on the other hand formulates recommendations for public support policies.
Erdyn, the firm specializing in innovation consulting and prime contractor for this study, was entrusted with the analysis of key technologies in the energy sector. He returns today to the main lines of this investigation.
A study based on a double observation
The reflections carried out within the framework of the 2015 Key Technologies study in the field of energy are based on a double observation: on the one hand, fossil resources, and more particularly hydrocarbons, still have a key role to play , regardless of the question of the date of the "world oil peak", which has not yet been decided. In these conditions, maintaining investments in upstream oil and making the best use of existing resources is essential. On the other hand, there is a relative consensus on the need to fight climate change, which is certainly not always accompanied by concrete commitments.
Regarding this last point, the levers for action are known: developing the share of renewable energies, increasing energy storage capacities so as to be able to better manage flows, consolidating the place of nuclear power, reducing emissions from combustion fossil fuels. Without forgetting the room for maneuver linked to uses: energy efficiency in the building, transport and industrial sectors remains a major lever when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
17 key technologies selected to meet energy challenges
Based on this observation, the Key Technologies 2015 energy working group proposed to the study's strategic committee to retain the following technologies as being key for French industrial and service companies:
1. Synthetic fuels from biomass,
2. Thermodynamic solar,
3. Marine energies,
4. Fuel cells,
5. Hydrogen technologies,
6. Capture and storage of CO2,
7. Nuclear energy, Solar photovoltaic,
8. Offshore wind energy,
9. Geothermal energy,
10. Stationary electricity storage,
11. Intelligent electrical networks,
12. Hydrocarbon exploration and production technologies,
13. Oil refining technologies,
14. Technologies for exploration,
15. extraction and processing of mineral resources,
16. Synthetic fuels from fossil resources,
17. Biomass and waste: energy recovery.

The theory is beautiful, only me what I see on the ground is this: 99% of young engineers (I am / part of it) who want (wanted?) To work in these technologies (except hydrocarbons and nuclear ) galley thoroughly and end up marginalizing ...
The State really finances (excluding "representation") only what brings money to the powerful ... and by the same, to itself ...
