Debate - Decarbonising air travel: how to organise sobriety

Air transport accounts for 4% of the sector's greenhouse gas emissions and 1.2% of the French economy's emissions. For short-haul aircraft, the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME) estimates that GHG emissions per passenger-km represent 0.2 kgCO2e (CO2 impact tool), making air travel a highly polluting mode of transport.

On 19 October 2023, the Governance and Regulation Chair is organising a breakfast debate on the decarbonisation of the aviation sector, with a particular focus on the role of demand reduction and, where appropriate, its organisation.





Debate : Regulation and sustainable finance

The European Union's sustainable finance strategy is based on an evolving, non-binding classification of sustainable economic activities, known as the European Green Taxonomy. The aim of this classification is, on the one hand, to direct investments towards activities that are qualified as sustainable and, on the other hand, to prevent the promotion of investments in activities whose environmental characteristics are not truly sustainable (greenwashing).




Hydrogen: Optimising the leverage effect of the public money promised

,  

France produces more than 900,000 tonnes of hydrogen every year, covering the needs of various industries. However, 94% of this hydrogen comes from fossil fuels. In the context of the energy transition, the question of decarbonisation arises. Green or low-carbon hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources using an electrolysis process. This technology also means that hydrogen can be used on a massive scale as an energy carrier, especially as it burns cleanly. It is also a solution for storing surplus renewable electricity using the "Power to gas" process.
