Quelle place pour l’élimination du carbone en France est sa stratégie climat? Selon le GIEC, en complément de la sobriété, de l’efficacité énergétique et d’une décarbonation massive, nous aurons besoin d’une quantité considérable (5Gt-16Gt selon les scénarios) d’élimination de dioxyde de carbone, pour respecter les objectifs de l’accord de Paris et limiter le réchauffement climatique en dessous de 2 degrés. La France, comme la plupart des grandes économies de ce monde, possède tous les atouts nécessaires pour une mise en œuvre ambitieuse de l’élimination du dioxyde de carbone (EDC), mais…

Held on 26 October 2022, the event gathered over a hundred EU and national policymakers, industry, academia, and civil society representatives to exchange views on how to ensure the development of a robust European carbon dioxide removal (‘CDR’) policy framework that enables these innovative technologies to scale up at the required pace. In his welcoming remarks, CEO Glenn Morley introduced the audience to Carbon Gap’s goal to address policy, knowledge and ambition gaps to unlock the potential of carbon removals. In his keynote speech on CDR 101: What is carbon removal…
