We present here a formulation of the electronic ground-state energy in termsof the second order reduced density matrix, using a duality argument. It isshown that the computation of the ground-state energy reduces to the search ofthe projection of some two-electron reduced Hamiltonian on the dual cone of$N$-representability conditions. Some numerical results validate the approach,both for equilibrium geometries and for the dissociation curve of N$_2$
