<aside> 💡 High-Level Description:

The French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) has been instrumental in pioneering environmental research and sustainable strategies. Recognizing the substantial carbon footprint of the automotive industry, ADEME has meticulously devised methodologies to assess and manage car emissions. By employing a combination of laboratory tests and real-world assessments, ADEME has ensured that vehicles' environmental impacts are gauged accurately, accounting for various driving conditions and vehicle categories.

ADEME's methodology is comprehensive, factoring in the entire lifecycle of a vehicle — from manufacture to disposal. This cradle-to-grave approach provides insights into each phase of a car's life, helping manufacturers and consumers align their choices with eco-friendly standards. The extensive data collected via ADEME's protocols have influenced European policy-making, championing sustainable transport initiatives across the continent.
