Core offering

Biomasse Normandie is a regional non-profit association that conducts studies and animates five general interest missions across three domains: waste and circular economy (OBDEC observatory), renewable energy (ORECAN observatory, Plan Métha'Normandie for biogas, Programme Bois-Énergie Normandie for wood energy), and energy renovation (France Rénov' advisory space). It provides free technical studies, engineering consulting, data publications, and stakeholder animation services to public authorities, agricultural cooperatives, and individual homeowners in Normandy, co-funded by Région Normandie and ADEME.

Product overview

Biomasse Normandie is a regional technical association founded in 1983 that operates as a service organization rather than a software product company. Its offerings center on five public interest missions: two observatories (OBDEC for waste and circular economy, ORECAN for energy-climate-air), two animation programs (Plan Métha'Normandie for biogas development and Programme Bois-Énergie Normandie for wood energy), and an advisory service (Espace Conseil France Rénov' for energy renovation). The association also provides engineering and consulting services, publishes technical guides and newsletters, and maintains interactive mapping tools. The portfolio functions as interconnected public service offerings rather than a unified software platform, with each product serving distinct stakeholder groups across Normandy's environmental and energy transition.
