Mr Patrick Olivier, Director of the Transition Unit – SGPI

“ As France’s port and industrial area with emissions of more than 15 million tonnes of CO2 eq per year, or around 20% of CO2 eq emissions from French manufacturing and construction industries, the Dunkirk territory is leading many projects for the decarbonisation of industry. This is exactly the case with Dkarbonation, a project submitted as part of the ZIBac call for projects (Low-Carbon Industrial Areas Support and Development Scheme). Backed by the French Government as part of France 2030, this programme aims to accelerate the decarbonisation of the top ten industrial areas with the highest levels of emissions by providing them with support to consolidate consortiums, encourage partnerships in order to elicit synergies among industrialists, identify the infrastructures required and conduct the research needed for a joint decarbonisation action plan.

The Dkarbonation project aims to meet the targets set by the ZIBac, particularly concerning the difficult issue of the development of energy infrastructures, hydrogen and carbon dioxide networks, which need to be synchronised with decarbonisation projects and industrial investments.
