About electriXities
electriXities‘ objective is to massively reduce greenhouse gases emissions, within the deadlines imposed by the extreme urgency of global warming.
electriXities aims to exploit the business models of the energy (r)evolution to achieve its objective, and particularly, to make cities energetically autonomous and carbon neutral.
electriXities means:
- to implement and finance energy retrofits of existing buildings in residential and tertiary sectors, and thereby eradicate the use of combustion in everyday’s life;
- to proceed to LED relighting, in particular public lighting;
- to conduct the solarization of roads and railways;
- to promote the migration to electric and autonomous mobility;
- to conduct direct capture of atmospheric and ocean carbon, and its transformation into sustainable building materials.
“Is that thing really, really important ?
Is it going to affect everyone in the world ?

“If we fix cities, actually it’s a big deal.
Cities are only 2% of the Earth’s crust, but they are 50% of the world’s population. They are 75% of the energy consumption, — up to 80% of CO2 emissions. So if we’re able to do something with cities, that’s a big deal.”

“La domestication du feu est une invention formidable, mais, en termes d’évolution des technologies, c’est une percée préhistorique ! Il y a bien longtemps que l’être humain a cessé d’’utiliser des silex pour chasser ! Il est temps que l’homme moderne cesse de brûler des trucs pour se chauffer, se déplacer, et cuisiner…”
