The 2024 French CCUS Strategy establishes a comprehensive roadmap to capture 4-8 Mtpa of CO2 by 2030. It prioritizes hard-to-abate sectors, implements a Carbon Contract for Difference (CCfD) subsidy mechanism, and establishes the legal basis for cross-border CO2 transport through a 2024 bilateral agreement with Norway. It also streamlines subsurface permitting via the Green Industry Act.
