There are technological barriers to be overcome if we are to achieve progress in the environmental sphere and in sustainable development. The role of Research and Development is to identify and resolve these difficulties so that we can tackle the challenges of tomorrow.

R & D plays a key role in driving forward our activities and business model, by developing new solutions and foreseeing environmental and health issues. It plays an essential part in:

Optimizing the environmental quality of our services as well as the safety of our facilities and services (through technical improvements to reduce costs, limit the impact of our activities, raise healthstandards, etc.)

Adapting our businesses to global changes (by anticipating environmental issues and protecting the environment)

Dalkia's international energy research and development capabilities are grouped at the Centre for Environmental, Energy and Waste Research and Testing,(CREED) where innovation is the aim in developing new energy resources.
