Capture et stockage du carbone : Une trajectoire vers la carboneutralité ou un mirage ?
L’Accélérateur de Transition a organisé une série de webinaires intitulée “Pathways to Net Zero” et le premier panel de la série a discuté du rôle de la capture et de la séquestration du carbone (CSC) le 30 novembre 2022.
Résumé du webinaire
Les panélistes étaient Bonnie Drozdowski (Innotech Alberta), Emily Eaton (Université de Regina), Christina Hoicka (Université de Victoria) et James Millar (International CCS Knowledge Centre). Les panélistes ont discuté des avantages et des inconvénients du CSC en tant que voie d’accès à l’énergie nette zéro. La modératrice, Sara Hastings-Simon (Université de Calgary), a souligné la nécessité d’actions politiques et d’investissements pour faire avancer la carboneutralité au Canada. Les panélistes se sont accordés sur l’urgence de réduire les émissions du Canada, mais ne sont pas parvenus à un consensus sur la priorité à accorder au CSC pour faire progresser le Canada vers l’objectif de zéro émissions carbonées. Certains participants ont souligné que le CSC pourrait être utile dans les industries non productrices d’énergie comme le ciment et l’acier, mais d’autres ont exprimé leur réticence à l’égard des investissements dans le CSC et ont suggéré d’investir davantage d’argent dans des technologies qui peuvent faire progresser les technologies propres. Les panélistes ont également discuté de l’importance de la certitude politique et des investissements fédéraux dans les technologies propres pour parvenir à la carboneutralité.
