Base 11/19, the last mine shaft in Loos-en-Gohelle, was transformed into an eco-construction milestone in the early 2000s. The CD2E organization, based at this site, supports over 600 eco-enterprises in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region, fostering innovation and market expansion in the environmental sector. This hub regularly hosts professional builders to exchange ideas and learn new eco-construction techniques, contributing to the region's reputation as a pioneer in sustainable development and green energy solutions.
