About La Francaise de l'Energie
La Française de l’Énergie (FDE) is a multi-energy local producer focused on converting underused industrial and post-industrial resources into low-carbon energy solutions. The group develops and operates production assets for gas, electricity and heat, with a short-supply-chain model centered on local value creation. Its activities are primarily concentrated in the Hauts-de-France region, Wallonia and Lorraine, where it works close to former mining and industrial areas. FDE positions itself at the intersection of the energy transition, circular economy and local reindustrialization, while also emphasizing engineering know-how and project development capabilities.
The company was founded in 2009 in Forbach, in the Lorraine region of France. It initially built its business around the recovery of mine gas and coal-bed methane in former coal basins. At its listing on Euronext Paris in June 2016, the company was already presenting itself as a specialized French SME with the ambition of becoming a leading gas player in France and, more broadly, across Europe. That IPO marked an important step in FDE’s development, providing capital to scale its local energy supply model and broaden its footprint.

FDE’s historical core activity remains the capture and valorization of mine gas, particularly in northern France and Belgium. The group also operates solar assets, including a major solar thermal park integrated with a district heating network in Creutzwald, and it is developing several photovoltaic projects on industrial or mining brownfields. In 2022, FDE strengthened its portfolio through the acquisition of Cryo Pur, a French specialist in biogas treatment and liquefaction into bio-LNG and bio-CO2. The company also highlights innovation initiatives in natural hydrogen and CO2 storage in coal seams.
Operationally, FDE promotes a model based on local, lower-carbon energy systems and the circular use of resources. It argues that this approach combines reduced carbon intensity, economic competitiveness and territorial development. In its latest annual revenue release, the group reported FY 2025 consolidated revenues of €29.2 million, with management confirming its 2030 objectives and pointing to a stronger growth pipeline ahead. This reflects a company still in an expansion phase, with asset ramp-ups and new projects supporting future development.
Geographically, FDE is rooted in France but also has operations in Belgium and has long expressed an ambition to expand its local energy model more broadly in Europe. One of the company’s most distinctive claims is that it is the only French energy producer with a negative carbon footprint, a positioning that differentiates it within the decentralized energy market. More generally, FDE’s profile combines industrial heritage, renewable and low-carbon technologies, and a strong territorial anchor, making it a notable small-cap player in the European energy transition landscape.
