Technical Association for Energy and Environment

The Association Technique Énergie Environnement (ATEE) is a French non-profit association created in 1978 under the French law of 1901. Its stated mission is to promote energy efficiency and the controlled, environmentally respectful use of energy, grounded in technical expertise. The association brings together energy managers, industrial firms, utilities, consultancies and public bodies to exchange technical knowledge and shape practice in the French energy transition. ATEE organises its work through thematic clubs and working groups. Among the most visible are the Club Biogaz, which addresses biogas, biogenic CO2 and biowaste valorisation, and the Club Stockage d'Énergies, which holds an annual conference on energy storage. Other groups cover energy efficiency, cogeneration, Power-to-Gas, pyrogasification, and the French white certificate scheme (Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie, CEE). A dedicated Réseaux & Services working group, chaired by a representative of Engie Solutions, runs regular webinars on CEE and energy efficiency topics. ATEE produces documentation, studies and position papers, and it responds to public consultations. For example, the Club Biogaz has engaged with the French ministry on the post-2028 trajectory for the restitution of CEE obligations by obliged suppliers, and ATEE has published studies such as a final report on the impacts of zero-remaining-charge operations on the CEE market. It also supports professional training programmes, including the PROREFEI scheme for industrial energy managers, integrated into the PACTE Industrie programme since 2024. The association is headquartered in France and operates primarily in the French market, serving as a technical interface between industry, government and energy professionals. It is a membership-based organisation rather than a commercial company, and it is not listed on any stock exchange.

The Association Technique Énergie Environnement (ATEE) was created in 1978 as a French association under the law of 1901, with the purpose of promoting energy efficiency on technical foundations. From its origins, ATEE positioned itself as a meeting point for engineers, energy managers and organisations involved in the rational use of energy. Over the decades, ATEE developed a structure of thematic clubs and working groups that allow members to follow regulatory and technical developments in specific energy sectors. The Club Biogaz became a prominent forum for biogas, biogenic CO2 and biowaste issues, engaging with French public authorities such as the DGEC and the DGE. The Club Stockage d'Énergies established an annual conference on energy storage, with the 15th edition scheduled for 1 October 2026. Other groups address cogeneration, Power-to-Gas, pyrogasification, energy efficiency and the French white certificate scheme (CEE). ATEE's work includes producing documentation, studies and position papers, and responding to public consultations. In 2021 it published a report on the impacts of zero-remaining-charge operations on the CEE market and a publication titled 'Gaz verts : renforçons nos synergies'. Its Réseaux & Services working group, chaired by a representative of Engie Solutions, has run a regular series of webinars on CEE and energy efficiency, with records dating back to at least 2024. ATEE also supports professional training, including the PROREFEI scheme for industrial energy managers, integrated into the PACTE Industrie programme since 2024. As of the mid-2020s, ATEE remains an active French association, organising events, webinars and field visits, and acting as a technical interface between industry, government and energy professionals.
