Eliminating carbon from the atmosphere: what strategy for France?

Description

The scientific consensus is now clear: to stabilize the climate, we need to halt the rise in CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere as quickly as possible. This implies, first and foremost, drastically reducing carbon emissions, but this 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, notably because certain activities will not be totally decarbonizable, but also to limit the overshoot of the carbon budget. 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?

Resume

La discussion portait sur l'élimination du dioxyde de carbone de l'atmosphère, avec des intervenants présentant des méthodes et enjeux liés à ce sujet. Il y a un besoin de développer des solutions pour décarboner le transport aérien et réduire les émissions de CO2, mais en France, il y a un manque de soutien financier de la part des pouvoirs publics pour ces initiatives. Ce résumé a été généré par une IA.
