Other specialists include volunteer sociologists, economists and urban planners, who work together to create energy transition scenarios and to suggest political steps that would need to be taken.
Association négaWatt inspired local initiatives in transition towns called "Virage-Énergie," meaning "energy bend".
The scenario starts by assessing energy needs for heating, transportation and specific electricity, and suggests a transition path.
The Afterres2050 [fr] association targets agriculture energy use and can evaluate biomass production, providing the NégaWatt scenario with realistic figures.
[3] The scenario employs the power to gas process to compensate for the intermittent nature of most renewable energies.
