Behind Energaya: Lucien Papaya, CEO and founder
Energaya was founded in 2018 by Lucien Papaya. An energy engineer with over a decade of experience in energy efficiency consulting agencies, Lucien observed first-hand the impact of mass greenhouse gas emissions, mainly caused by human energy consumption, on the planet and the atmosphere.
Energaya is his answer to the energy challenge—a way to actively contribute to the energy transition and help clients do so too, especially in underprivileged areas.
“Global warming is a long-term process whose effects we already feeling today. I believe we all have a responsibility to act against it on a personal scale. That’s what makes working at Energaya so inspiring.”
Key figures on the energy challenge
Global warming has long been documented by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Created in 1988, this panel of scientists and experts has published numerous reports alerting us about the climate emergency and underscoring concerning figures:
410 ppm
The CO2 concentration in our atmosphere is currently higher than ever before.
+1,5°C by 2030
Temperatures have increased dramatically—a trend set to persist and accelerate.
3,3 millions
The number of people living in endangered territories is skyrocketing.

In this context, initiatives such as Energaya are instrumental to turn the tide and work towards a virtuous use of energy.
