Groupe BPCE: Continuation of the partnership with Energy Observer

The BPCE Group, through the partnership signed by Natixis CIB and Crédit Maritime, continues to support Energy Observer, which has announced its new expedition dedicated to finding solutions to achieve carbon neutrality.

Energy Observer, the first autonomous hydrogen ship, acts both as a laboratory and an advocate for ecological transition. It explores innovative energy solutions such as hydrogen, solar, wind, and hydrokinetic power, with the aim of making clean energy accessible to all.

Since the beginning of this project, BPCE, Banque Populaire Grand Ouest, and Crédit Maritime have been key partners of Energy Observer, contributing to its first expedition around the world at a time when hydrogen was still viewed as a breakthrough technology.

This collaboration has led to the creation of a strong and lasting relationship with the BPCE Group.

Today, the partnership continues with the commitment from Natixis CIB and Crédit Maritime, who are supporting Energy Observer in its new expedition in Europe. This three-year adventure (2025-2027) focuses on analyzing solutions to capture, store, and recover CO2, the main greenhouse gas responsible for climate change.

It is a unique opportunity to advance carbon capture initiatives and provide concrete solutions to today’s environmental challenges.
