Europe is quickly reaching a point of no return: it must decarbonize its economy and at the same time establish its energy sovereignty.

In this context, CARBON, a French initiative with a European presence, wants to contribute to the sustainable reindustrialization of France and Europe by building a large-scale industrial solution for the solar sector.

CARBON is a French company located in Lyon and Marseille, founded in 2022. It brings together an unprecedented coalition of entrepreneurs, industrial operators, and solar professionals, all of whom are both convinced of the need for energetic transition in response to the climate challenge, and are determined to create local employment by contributing to the reconstruction of an entire industrial sector. The company relies on a rich French and European ecosystem that CARBON’s success contribute to consolidate and amplify: R&D centers, equipment manufacturers, raw material suppliers, modules assemblers…

Our project? A 5 GWp gigafactory integrating the core of the photovoltaics industrial value chain to produce in France and widely market competitive, reliable, sustainable, high-yield and ultra-low carbon PV cells and modules, fully traceable and compliant with the highest ESG standards. This 4.0 and 100% electrical gigafactory will be located on the maritime industrial zone of Fos-sur-Mer (South of France), on a 45 hectares site. In essence, CARBON aims to contribute to the sustainable reindustrialization of France and Europe, and address the issue of our economic sovereignty and energy independence, by building a large-scale industrial solution for the solar sector. This endeavor is expected to create at least 3,000 direct industrial jobs and avoid over 40 million tons of CO2 equivalent emissions over 10 years.
