Arnaud CRETOT
During his Master in Thermal Engineering from the University of Nantes, Arnaud Crétot visited over 50 energy projects in the EU and Asia as part of «Les Vagabonds de l’Energie», an NGO he cofounded to shed light on energy strategies. He worked as project manager of solar thermal and thermal building at «Alliance Soleil» and was thermal algorithm manager at Qivivo.
When looking at energy systems, Arnaud sees the limitations of the technological approach. In his engineering works he strives for consensus between expert technicians and social actors alike. An acceptable, stable, durable and adapted socio-technical solution can only come from a successful consensus between all stakeholders, and depends not only on the technology itself.
His socio-technical approach guides him on his path to develop and spread new energy solutions. Currently, Arnaud is CTO and scientific director at GoSol.org, an enterprise in solar thermal energy.
