On June 28, 2023, the CMA CGM Group announced its investment in the industrial company CARBON. Rodolphe Saad\u00e9, CEO of CMA CGM, confirmed the company\u2019s intention to invest in CARBON during President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s visit to the Port of Marseille Fos.<\/p>\n

Based in Marseille, the CMA CGM Group<\/a> is a global player in maritime, land, air, and logistics solutions. Through this announcement, the CMA CGM Fund for Energies reaffirms its commitment to accelerating decarbonization and developing renewable energies.<\/p>\n

CARBON<\/a>‘s first gigafactory will have a production capacity of 5 GW of photovoltaic cells and 3.5 GW of modules. Located in Fos-sur-Mer, within the Grand Port Maritime de Marseille, it is currently the largest announced photovoltaic production facility in Europe<\/a>. Additionally, it stands as one of the most significant job-creating projects in France. It will lead to the creation of 3,000 direct and sustainable jobs in the region.<\/p>\n

The CARBON project<\/a> thus contributes to France’s energy and industrial sovereignty.<\/p>\n

This establishment of this first gigafactory requires an investment budget of 1.5 billion euros. The support from the CMA CGM Group follows the announcement made on June 23 by the R\u00e9gion Sud regarding a first grant allocation<\/a> for the CARBON project.<\/p>\n
