The Loire Estuary Decarbonisation Association (ADELE)

The Loire Estuary Decarbonisation Association (ADELE) gathers all the relevant stakeholders in the territory, engaged for the decarbonisation of Loire Estuary for 2050.

Created in September 2023 by five public and industrial actors, it oversees the operational management of the Decarbonisation Loire Estuary programme, supported by ADEME, the French Environment and Energy Management Agency, through the ZIBaC call for tender.

The association is the link between ADEME and the project developers and warrants the funding and the decarbonisation trajectory of the territory. Beyond the ZIBaC call for tender, ADELE welcomes any new partners willing to contribute to the Loire Estuary Decarbonisation initiative.

The association is made up of 4 bodies for its members:

  • Founding members
  • Business and industry
  • Academics and R&D
  • Institutions and local communities
