négaWatt’s expertise lies first and foremost in its comprehensive modeling capacities. The Association has been publishing a complete energy transition scenario for France for now 20 years, the négaWatt scenario being the first to achieve climate neutrality, and its approach based on sufficiency, efficiency and renewables being then by public players such as Ademe and RTE. The latest edition included a complete materials flow analysis as well as an analysis of France’s GHG and materials footprint and thus formed the basis for the Association’s work on materials. In 2023, it published CLEVER, a Collaborative Low Energy Vision for the European Region, the result of 5 years of technical and policy dialogue with partners from 26 European countries. Currently négaWatt builds upon this work to contribute to debates such as those around an EU 2040 climate target.
