LABEL “SOLAR IMPULSE EFFICIENT SOLUTION”

“Solutions exist that are logical more than just ecological, that can create jobs and
generate profit while also reducing polluting emissions and preserving natural resources.”
Bertrand Picard

What is the “Solar Impulse” Foundation ?
The Foundation’s goal is to bridge the gap between ecology and economy by reducing our impact on the environment while promoting economic development.
“The Solar Impulse Foundation was created precisely to prove that it is possible to reconcile economy and ecology by promoting the development of clean technologies and the development of renewable energies.”

What is the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” Label?
“Created by the Swiss explorer Bertrand Piccard following his world tour in a solar plane, the Solar Impulse Foundation has set itself an ambitious new challenge, namely to identify, select and promote 1000 clean technologies that protect the environment from profitable way: the #1000Solutions Challenge.”

“To select these solutions, the Foundation has launched the Solar Impulse Efficient Solutions label, which is awarded to clean technologies with a strongly positive environmental impact coupled with a solid economic model, that they allow the consumer to save money, that they whether they create jobs or demonstrate their commercial profitability. This in-depth solution assessment is carried out by a community of over 400 leading experts in areas such as clean energy, water, mobility, recycling, construction, and more.”

GeoCassini obtained the “Solar Impulse Efficient Solution” label in February 2021.
Among the elements of the application file, we present here in a synthetic way certain aspects of the environmental and financial impacts of GeoCassini.

Survey 2000 connections : 139 650 euros

• Realization of the surveys on case-by-case basis
• Detail cost explanation

Survey
2 000 connections / 15 conn/d = 133d

Treatments
133 d x 450 e/d = 59 850 euros

559 650 euros

It should be added
• The immobilization of site equipment(trucks, excavator,etc.) while waiting for the surveys
• Securing the trenches
• Maintenance of human resources,as long as the trenches are not filled in
