How does pyrogasification fit into the French energy mix?

Jean-Paul Calès, President of NOVÉA, spoke a few days ago at LaREF thema Energie, organized by the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF), to share our vision of pyrogasification in the French energy mix.

The key message: moving beyond a competitive mindset. All too often, debates pit technologies against one another.

Nuclear vs. renewables. Electrification vs. gas. Anaerobic digestion vs. pyrogasification.

The reality is more complex and multifaceted. France needs an energy mix where each technology recovers the resources it processes best, to meet the needs it serves most effectively.

Where does pyrogasification fit into this ecosystem? It transforms what other processes cannot recover: non-fermentable waste.

To produce a flexible synthesis gas, adaptable to local needs: hydrogen, biomethane, biofuels, etc.

Three strategic levers in one:

➡️ Sovereignty: reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels
➡️ Circularity: recovering local resources that are currently wasted
➡️ Reindustrialization: creating value and local jobs

"Pyrogasification is not just an energy technology. It is a lever for energy sovereignty, the circular economy, and the reindustrialization of local regions."

A vision we are building every day with our operational industrial pilot and our first local projects.
