The ecological transition has been boosted by the Recovery Plan, enthusiastically notes Blandine Aubert, director of the Ademe Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, who sees the France 2030 program arriving, as a relay. “With France Relance, we have been able to support a multitude of small transformations in VSEs and SMEs, and also support some major structuring projects in hydrogen or the decarbonization of energy”, she specifies.
One of these major structuring projects, in Côte d’Or, is the launch of the hydrogen mobility system in Dijon, and more specifically the start of work on its production station. In total, with the aid granted to different phases and partners and over several years, Ademe will have invested 11.5 million euros in this program.
One million euros for SEB
Out of an amount of regional aid under France Relance of 31.7 million euros, in 2021, the Côte-d’Oriens projects carried out by Ademe will have benefited from 2.2 million euros for 46 files. Including 1 million euros to support the structuring project of the SEB production site inselongey aimed at reducing its CO2 emissions by modifying its degreasing and washing process.
Twenty-five projects carried out by VSEs and SMEs under the Tremplin scheme have also been helped (the purchase of a cargo bike for deliveries by a caterer, a new refrigerated bank for a butcher, LEDs, etc.) , as well as five “sustainable tourism” operations carried out by accommodation providers and operators.
More generally, between 2019 and 2021, Ademe aid in the department amounted to 32.1 million euros, or 31.6% of a total amount of 101.7 million euros. 68.8% of this aid went to companies, 26.2% to local authorities and 4.2% to associations.
Horizon 2050
At the level of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, in 2021, Ademe supported 1,051 companies which benefited from 66% of the 58 million euros in aid granted, i.e. 30% of the overall project budget. At the top of these approximately 175 million euros of regional investment for the ecological transition, those relating to renewable and recovered energies come first (48% of financing), ahead of those relating to waste recovery and the economy. circular (30%).
And for 2022? Ademe wants to accelerate further, strengthen its partnerships with the Regional Economic Agency and consular chambers and launch nothing less than a forward-looking approach to regional energy and food autonomy by 2050.
