The green station respects the environment and future generations. We are committed to providing energy-efficient infrastructure that helps people live better together. We are convinced that improving our ways of travelling will have a decisive impact on our quality of life.
Construction of the first bioclimatic station
Between now and 2028, we will be building Europe's first bioclimatic station, jointly with the Nice-Aéroport station. This station will produce more energy than it consumes, while being low-carbon and with extensive vegetation planting. Built around a bioclimatic canopy, the station will form an island of coolness open to its neighbourhood.
Eco-design and re-use
We are increasing the proportion of bio-sourced and geo-sourced materials in our projects, and we aim to systematically reuse the waste materials. Our approach is based on the EMC2B systematic operational method for energy, materials, carbon, climate and biodiversity, formalised in 2019. We have accelerated the process since 2023 by devoting 113 million euros between now and 2032 to adaptation measures and launching a vulnerability assessment on all SNCF Gares & Connexions assets and activities.
Developing solar power
We own ample land areas between stations and platforms to deploy solar panels. We have started with the 2030 Solar Plan in order to generate the power that we use. The goal is to source 50% renewable energy by 2035 and 100% by 2050. In parallel, we are reducing our energy needs and power bills, and gradually switching from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
Zero non-recovered recyclable waste
We are implementing a waste reclamation plan to achieve "zero non-recovered recyclable waste" by 2030. The first step of this plan involves the gradual installation since 2022 of new sorting bins in stations to collect organic waste. These new bins, made from recycled materials, will optimise collection efficiency and simplify upkeep and maintenance while complying with health, safety and security standards.
