Energy security, purchasing power, industrial competitiveness, and defense: these are all issues that dominate public debate and often push climate change to the sidelines. Yet these concerns are interconnected. Dependence on fossil fuels weakens the trade balance, exposes households to price shocks, and keeps France dependent on foreign supplies. Every euro invested in decarbonizing the economy is a euro invested in French sovereignty.\u00a0<\/em><\/p><p><em>Carbon removal is part of this approach. When it comes to climate change, the science is clear: drastically reducing emissions is essential, but it will not be enough. We must not only offset tomorrow\u2019s residual emissions, but also remove the CO\u2082 that has already accumulated in the atmosphere over decades. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that between 5 and 16 billion metric tons of CO\u2082 will need to be removed annually by 2050 to keep global warming below 1.5 to 2\u00b0C. Without this, the goals of the Paris Agreement will be out of reach.<\/em><\/p><p><em>And carbon removal isn\u2019t just about climate change. Developing a carbon sequestration sector in France means strengthening the resilience of farms, making the most of local natural and forest resources, creating new opportunities for industries, and building a sector of excellence with innovative companies and jobs that won\u2019t be outsourced.<\/em><\/p><p><em>France has often been a pioneer in new ideas. It spearheaded the Paris Agreement in 2015 and created the Low-Carbon Label in 2018, one of the world\u2019s first national frameworks for certifying low-carbon projects. But being a pioneer in new ideas is not enough: when it comes to solar power, batteries, and electric vehicles, France\u2014like Europe\u2014has been slow to translate its scientific lead into industrial capacity, allowing nearly 90 % of global production capacity to be concentrated in Asia (IEA, 2024). The risk is that this pattern will repeat itself with carbon elimination: recognizing its necessity without providing the means to prepare for it.<\/em><\/p><p><em>\u00a0Carbon removal is a new window of opportunity. It is still open\u2014but not for long. The decisions made during this five-year term will determine what will be operational by 2035\u20132040, a critical period for meeting our climate commitments. This white paper presents five concrete proposals, with significant spillover effects on private investment, to ensure that France does not miss this deadline.<\/em><\/p><p><em>The AFEN
