Decarbonisation roadmap for the chemicals sector
…The chemicals sector accounts for 25% of total emissions of the industrial sector. The Ministry of Ecological Transition published a Decarbonation Roadmap for the chemicals sector. It highlights the progress made in the sector, its future needs and emissions, and the ways for the sector to reduce its carbon emissions. It sets a new emissions reduction target of 26% by 2030, compared to 2015. The goals highlighted in the roadmap are: - improving energy efficiency (-1.8 MtCO2 eq reduction of annual GHG emissions emissions between 2015 and 2030), - reducing nitrous oxide (N2O) (-0.8 MtCO2 eq) - reducing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) emissions…
