The sun bathes the ground of a colossal and unlimited radiant energy flux on a time scale of humanity.There are  several billion years that the photosynthetic organisms , benefit from this energy, convert it into chemical energy, (sugar, proteins, lipids) and are at the basis of all the  ecosystems in the sea environment and in the continental environment.


Energies  known as fossil (coal, oil, gas) are derivatives of this biomass formed  several hundred of millions years ago.They allowed humanity to reach its level of current development. But these energies  can be depleted  and their combustion generates gases with greenhouses effect whose fast release in the atmosphere modifies today the climate  and disturb the human activities. A new energy system is to be built and this project which is starting, is a real opportunity for employment and ecological business.
