Inclusion criteria
A project is designated as an “EDC project” if it meets the following three conditions:
- Establishing a foothold in France : project concrete (announced / pilot / operational) locatable within France (mainland France, including Corsica).
- EDC Intention : removal of CO₂ from the atmosphere and claimed long-term storage, based on a verifiable source (official website, press release, public documents).
- Scope of Technology : only engineered / semi-engineered :
- Biochar / BiCRS (sustainable carbon storage using biochar)
- BECCS / Bio-based CO₂ Capture and Storage
- Mineralization
- Accelerated weathering (ERW)
- DAC (Direct Air Capture)
- Geological storage
Exclusions (explicit) :
- Organizations without a traceable project in mainland France (e.g., R&D without a French location, or localized international deployment).
- Projects CO₂ capture at the source (industry) or CCUS aimed solely at decarbonization, without EDC intent (no withdrawal mechanism and no long-term storage associated with withdrawal).
- Projects natural wells and projects “Low-Carbon Label” (LBC) are not included at this stage, as they fall under a different scope that is already well established in the region, with many more active projects than EDC’s technological and semi-technological solutions.
