But the government does have plans to make use of renewable energies — wind and solar power, low -
carbon sources such as gas, nuclear energy, and imported
hydroelectricity — and wants to create «green jobs» that will take care of people and the environment.
He has coordinated more than 100 consulting missions, and participated in the development of more than 25
carbon offsetting programs (biomass, wind, methanisation,
hydroelectricity, heat recovery, energy efficiency, REDD +).
