All About Ocean Energy & hydraulic: Ages 11-14
Oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface. They constitute a vast reserve of energy produced by moving water, sea breezes or . The challenge is capturing the energy, a task that isn’t easy. As always, it’s a question of choosing the right technologies, which evolve constantly, without doing harm to the environment. Here is a broad overview of the different ocean energies, also known as “blue energies”.
Wind energy for ages 15-18
, which finds its source in wind strength and can be transformed into , is rapidly developing worldwide. wind turbines, installed off coastlines worldwide, open a wide range of possibilities for the growth of this . Spotlight on this challenge.
Wind energy for ages 11-14
Learn how wind’s strength is harnessed to convert it into electricity. Onland or offshore wind turbines are efficient structures for doing so, with their high masts and rotor-generator units. Together with solar energy, wind energy is one of the major renewable energies of tomorrow.

Europe's Energy History: a Story with Twists and Turns
The history of European construction began in the early 1950s with a decision by several countries to pool their production of , the most important source of energy at the time. History did not follow a linear progression however, and 75 years later, the European Union is still trying to coordinate its energy policies, while grappling with the new threat of .
Planète Energies is a site specifically designed for elementary and secondary school students and teachers.
It offers a variety of content to help young people better understand the energy transition challenges and raise their awareness of more responsible energy consumption.
In the 2021-2022 academic year, Planète Energies website recorded over a million visits, 5,000 registered teachers and 200 class conferences held throughout France. Planète Energies is a TotalEnergies Corporate Foundation program, created in 2005.
The history of European construction began in the early 1950s with a decision by several countries to pool their production of coal, the most important source of energy at the time. History did not follow a linear progression however, and 75 years later, the European Union is still trying to coordinate its energy policies, while grappling with the new threat of global warming.
Focus on energy conversions and storage
Energy is constantly changing, whether it's in a turbo-alternator, thermal and electric motors of a hybrid car or in a battery. You will review the main units of energy and check your knowledge with a quick quiz.
Focus on sources, forms and vectors of energy
Review all the energy sources (fossil, decarbonized, renewable) and their main characteristics. In a few videos, animations and interactive games, you will understand how they are produced and how they reach you.
