BIG BPI France

The scientific consensus is now clear: to stabilize the climate, we need to halt the rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration as quickly as possible. This means, first and foremost, drastically reducing carbon emissions, but this alone will not be enough to meet the objectives of the Paris Agreement: we will also need to remove several billion tonnes of CO2 from the atmosphere, not least because certain activities will not be totally decarbonizable, but also to limit the carbon budget overrun. The challenge of achieving this is colossal. Is there an ideal, risk-free, high-potential technology, or should we bet on a diversified portfolio of solutions? What is the economic potential, and are there sovereignty issues at stake? What is France's potential and assets?

PRODURABLE 2025: an 18ᵉ edition placed under the sign of "Heritages". On October 8 and 9, 2025, the Palais des Congrès de Paris will host the 18ᵉ edition of PRODURABLE, the benchmark event for players in the sustainable economy. Based around the theme "Inheritances: protect, restore, pass on", this new edition takes place against a backdrop where ecological, economic and social transition requires us to collectively rethink what we wish to pass on to future generations: resources, know-how, values, but also viable and resilient models. PRODURABLE 2025 will bring together over 15,000 visitors, 340 partners and 750 speakers, and will feature nearly 300 workshops and round tables, as well as numerous highlights. The exhibition will be organized around three themed villages (Environment, Social HR, Strategy & Governance) and dedicated pavilions (including the Bpifrance pavilion), with itineraries designed to support all types of organization. PRODURABLE stands out as a structuring high point to enlighten strategic decisions, facilitate the transition to action, federate ecosystems, and promote sustainable initiatives. 📍 Information and registration: www.produrable.com

AFEN sheet on Carbon Elimination (EDC)

This fact sheet has been drawn up by AFEN to provide a clear and accessible overview of carbon capture and storage (CCS). It recalls the scientific bases, describes the main existing methods and underlines the strategic stakes for France and Europe. Designed as an educational and practical tool, the fact sheet provides in a single document the key figures, expected benefits and quality criteria essential to developing a credible and ambitious EDC sector.

Carbon elimination: How to develop a new multi-gigatonne industry?

This report provides an analysis of the market potential for carbon capture and storage (CCS), investment needs and market trends. It also identifies actions most likely to reduce barriers to EDC expansion, and delineates potential benefits for pioneers in different stakeholder groups.

CO2 capture and geological storage (CCS) in France

In this opinion, ADEME assessed the potential of CO2 capture and geological storage in France, based on an analysis of technical and economic feasibility (taking into account scientific and technical obstacles), as well as territorial and societal feasibility, on the basis of existing industrial sites and current industrial emissions.

Webinar - Carbon elimination and the road to net zero

On April 29, dive into the issues and opportunities of the European elections for the carbon elimination industry (EDC) at the webinar organized by the Negative Emissions Platform with Julie GOSALVEZ, President of AFEN, MEP Lídia Pereira, Fabien Ramos from the European Commission, Valter Selén from Carbon Gap and Elisabeth Harding from Negative Emissions Platform.

Overview of CDR policies in France

Carbon Gap's Carbon Removal Policy Tracker provides an overview of European climate policy to help policymakers, industry players and the wider CDR community promote and accelerate the introduction of different carbon removal technologies in Europe. In particular, this focus on France provides a synthetic overview of all French policies on the subject.

Atmospheric carbon removal

Provides detailed analyses of the technical transformations needed to achieve the net-zero goal, focusing on emerging carbon removal techniques.

Carbon dioxide elimination: five principles for a scientific, sustainable and feasible approach

Addresses the limits and challenges of deploying CDR technologies, emphasizing the need for a realistic and sustainable approach.

The role of carbon dioxide removal technologies in the decarbonization of European industry

Explores the importance of carbon dioxide removal technologies in decarbonization efforts, focusing on initiatives within the EU.

France's potential to deploy carbon dioxide elimination

Carbon Gap publishes two deliverables from the "Country CDR Readiness Assessments" project for France. The main report aims to answer the question: What is France's capacity to deploy negative emissions? It is also accompanied by a roadmap.
