Decarbonisation: challenges and prospects

Decarbonisation: a major environmental challenge that opens up new economic and social prospects.

Decarbonisation refers to the process of reducing or even eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, mainly carbon dioxide, into the atmosphere, in other words reducing our carbon footprint and limiting climate change.

In other words, the aim is to reduce our carbon footprint and limit climate change. Beyond the already crucial environmental challenges, decarbonisation presents real economic opportunities. The transition to a low-carbon economy can stimulate innovation, create new jobs and enhance the attractiveness of companies committed to this approach. In social terms, decarbonisation is helping to improve air quality. Greenhouse gas emissions come from a wide range of sectors. Industry, with its production of steel, cement and chemicals, is a major emitter. Transport, whether for cars, planes or cargo ships, is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. Energy production, particularly from fossil fuels, is also a key sector. Agriculture, with livestock farming and deforestation, and construction, with heating and air conditioning, complete the picture.
