Only 11% of France’s electricity is generated from renewable sources. The main obstacle to a fully renewable energy mix is the intermittency of certain alternative sources, making continuous production impossible. Could biomass and electrical energy storage provide a sustainable solution to this problem? Our engineers are exploring these two promising avenues every day.
