The world's energy consumption depends on more than 80% on fossil energy, then it becomes necessary to assess the impact of carbon release into the atmosphere globally on Earth.
Bilan Carbone ® method is a standardized environmental management tool, created by ADEME. It identifies the sources and quantifies Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of any kind of organisation: industrial or tertiary companies, administrations or local authorities.
The analysis of the situation leads to a strategy of continuous improvement initiatives.
Bilan Carbone ® method takes into account:
* Consumption of materials.
* Transport.
* Transformations.
* Assets related to a product or service from its launch to its final use (including waste, packaging).
The Bilan Carbone ® signature of an entity is expressed in carbon mass equivalent per year.
The company's performance is then improved, both commercially by the labeling of consumer products (mandatory on first of January 2011) than by its business ethics image with customers, suppliers and employees.
The progressive legislative and tax context in France and Europe already requires companies with more than 500 employees to perform a carbon assessment before January 1st, 2011, to be updated before 5 years.
In France, the carbon tax is currently 17 € per ton carbon equivalent (target: 100 € in 2030), compared to 108 € in Sweden.
The automotive sector is facing several challenges:
* Respond to customers concerning the engine performance.
* Preserve jobs.
* Get rid of its dependence on polluting fossil fuels.
* An all electric power is only thinkable for small urban or suburban vehicles
* The different types of hybrid power, bringing consumption gains at the price of technological complexity, are an interim solution.
Taking into account that life on Earth is based on the water cycle, and that electricity cannot be stored easily, the hydrogen solution (fuel cell) must be developed because:
* It is not pollutant.
* Easily Storable, and can be produced anywhere with multiple sources (wind and solar), thus avoiding fossil dependence.
* Can be quickly Implemented in motor vehicles, which will preserve jobs and industrial tools.
Team Auto Consulting provides high level experts carrying a strong added value for :
* Developing a model that includes the ADEME standard.
* A financial analysis process that can target the most relevant developments, and to accompany them.
