Created at the initiative of the Dunkerque Urban Community to guide and support the dynamic transformation of the industrial-port ecosystem, Euraenergie is a territorial tool that is part of the “Dunkirque, Creative Energy” project, which aims to make the transition to industry free of carbon and new energies a success. “Our mission is to lead the network of actors involved to unite everyone and accelerate the investment necessary for this transformation or to favor the reception of new industries” explains Rafael Ponce, Director General of Euraenergie. “The objective is to create synergy and combine different strategies towards territorial projects that respond to environmental issues or improve the living environment of citizens”.
In addition to leading collective dynamics and territorial governance, Euraenergie pilots and carries out studies related to the development of new infrastructures in relation to the transition and reduction of carbon emissions. Beyond these engineering and feasibility studies, the objective is to support project promoters in their search for financing or even in the implementation of their business plan.
public awareness
Its objective is also to anticipate the future impacts and needs that these transformations will have on the territory and, in particular, to manage the issue of employment. “It is also necessary to develop a training adapted to the labor demands of the new projects in the territory” adds Rafael Ponce. “There is also work to raise awareness and educate the general public where the idea is to highlight the professional opportunities of the local population”.
Euranergie represents and embodies the transition dynamics of the Dunkirk industry with the various players. A fundamental role that allows building the decarbonization roadmap of the territory. The ambition is also to develop an electric battery sector in connection, in particular, with the establishment of the Giga Factory Verkor, which will be established by 2025.
