4.3.2.1.2 Municipal heating and cooling systems Some of the Group’s sites (mainly leisure parks) use heating or cooling systems consuming a total of 1.3 GWh over the financial year. Most of these systems offer an interesting energy mix and help keep the Group’s emissions low. 4.3.2.1.3 Fossil fuel consumption (petrol, diesel, fuel oil) Fuel consumption is the third largest energy item (while it is the second largest item in the year excluding pandemic) with a total of 1,510 m 3 , 75% of which is diesel. Diesel is mainly used for grooming which accounts for 28% (in m 3 ) of the Group’s total fuel consumption, compared with around 68% in the reference year. This is followed by “other” consumption, which mainly concerns road vehicles (4WDs and service vehicles) and off-road vehicles (snowmobiles for example). There is currently no alternative traction systems available for the grooming machines. However, the Group is funding an R&D program in France to develop an electrified machine that will eventually run on batteries or a range extender based on a hydrogen fuel cell. In addition, experiments were conducted on electric snowmobile prototypes starting in the 2019/2020 season.

There are many factors which affect the Ski areas’ electricity consumption: l for the ski lifts: type of installation, number of days the ski area opened, opening/closure of some sectors, visitor numbers which is weather-dependent and, to a lesser extent, climatic conditions such as wind, for which the speed must be adapted; l snow-making related consumption is closely linked to the weather conditions, especially the levels of natural snowfall at the beginning of the season, and changes in the production infrastructure (accumulated production time, types of snow-making machines, altitude of the catchment systems, etc.). The Leisure parks account for around 41% of the Group’s total electricity consumption, mainly in summer. Here too, the consumption is dependent on activity levels and relates to the number of days open, visitor numbers and site enhancement work (new attractions, new restaurants and creation of aquatic centres). Notes: At sites where we produce energy (electricity and heat), we can consume electricity bought in, produce it on site (consume our own energy) and equally supply the national grid (rather than consume our own energy). To provide us with the most realistic view possible of our impact, we use a “net” approach (electricity consumption bought in – energy supplied to the grid or a third party). For Parc du Futuroscope, for example, we have deducted from the consumption of electricity by the park the electricity it has co-generated and re-injected into the electricity grid.
