He collaborated with Nicolas Hulot for 11 years, and co-authored the Pacte écologique, a book that directly led to the Grenelle Environnement during the first years of Nicolas Sarkozy's presidency.

In 2007 he founded the Carbone 4 consultancy with the economist Alain Grandjean.

He founded two other organisations focused on spreading scientific knowledge about energy and climate change (still active), and is currently chairing the environment section of his alumni, X Environnement. He teaches at Mines ParisTech to first year students on energy and climate change basics.

He is a member of the association ASPO France, which studies the oil peak and its consequences.
