Nicolas Meilhan deciphers energy and industrial dynamics to help decision-makers tell technological promises apart from physical realities.
An engineering graduate of ESTP and MIT, Nicolas Meilhan decodes the major challenges of energy, mobility and industry on the basis of figures and physical constraints.
Oil, gas, nuclear, electricity: energy now sits at the heart of sovereignty, competitiveness and the international balance of power. Nicolas Meilhan analyses the strategies of China, the United States, Russia and Europe.
Energy transition, electricity costs, critical metals, supply chains: behind every environmental choice lies an industrial issue. How can emissions be cut without weakening our economy?
Electric vehicles, batteries, technologies, raw materials: China holds a dominant position in the new value chains. Nicolas Meilhan decodes this lead and the strategic choices Europe must now make in response.
A former automotive engineer and strategy consultant, now Senior Advisor at EV-Volumes, Nicolas Meilhan relies on data to move beyond preconceived ideas. Electric cars, hydrogen, renewables: there is no miracle solution. The challenge is to understand the uses, costs and resources required to build genuinely sustainable strategies.
Energy, industry, geopolitics: understanding tomorrow’s power dynamics.
Nicolas Meilhan deciphers the energy, material and geopolitical constraints that will reshape companies and economies.
Energy is once again a strategic weapon.
Oil, gas, nuclear power and trade routes: behind every geopolitical crisis lies an energy battle. Nicolas Meilhan deciphers the strategies of the major powers and their consequences for Europe and businesses.
Can we decarbonize without deindustrializing?
Decarbonization requires transforming our energy sources. But at what cost to industry? Nicolas Meilhan analyzes the consequences of the transition for electricity, metals, investment and European competitiveness.
Can Europe still defend its industry?
China controls a growing share of the electrification value chains: batteries, vehicles, metals and components. Nicolas Meilhan analyses the roots of this advantage and the room for manoeuvre that remains for Europe.
There is no magic energy source.
Nuclear? Renewables? Gas? Hydrogen? Nicolas Meilhan puts each solution back into context: costs, resources, grids, carbon footprint and sovereignty. His message: the first energy source of the future will be the one we manage not to consume.
What if the problem was not just the powertrain?
Replacing every combustion-engine car with an electric one will not solve congestion, vehicle weight or the pressure on resources. Nicolas Meilhan argues for rethinking usage before technology.
Two resources, one shared dependency.
Producing energy requires water. Treating and distributing water requires energy. With climate change, this interdependence is becoming a major strategic issue.
Nicolas Meilhan speaks at the key moments where people, performance and impact matter.
