Le plan de l'armée française pour réduire son empreinte carbone

La ministre des Armées, Florence Parly, a présenté vendredi la nouvelle « stratégie énergétique de défense » des Armées. Parmi les mesures annoncées figurent notamment le lancement d'un démonstrateur de blindé hybride de modèle Griffon en 2022, ou le développement de la simulation pour les séances d'entraînement dans l'armée de l'Air afin d'économiser du kérosène. Les systèmes d'hébergement de données informatiques vont de plus être revus pour tenter de réutiliser la chaleur des réseaux pour des infrastructures des Armées. Des recherches sur l'hydrogène sont également programmées, notamment pour équiper les piles à combustibles des soldats ou trouver des minidrones propulsés à l'hydrogène. D'ici fin 2021, un logiciel mesurant précisément les consommations énergétiques de toutes les emprises des Armées devrait par ailleurs être disponible.
