France changes its strategy for decarbonizing industry

The French government did not succeed with its original plan to decarbonize the industry. By 2030, the sector, which is responsible for around 20 percent of national CO2 emissions, is to reduce its greenhouse gases by around a third. This was to be helped by decarbonization roadmaps for 19 industries, which they technically had to submit by the end of December 2022. However, only four of them followed this obligation – the chemical, mining and metallurgy, cement, and paper and board sectors.
