French energy and decarbonization strategy

Overview

France is refining its approach to energy security and decarbonization through updated national strategies and a renewed focus on nuclear power.

The government has adopted the third version of its National Low-Carbon Strategy (SNBC 3), which aims for a 50% reduction in territorial greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050. This framework expands its scope to include the carbon footprint associated with French consumption.

Additionally, France is re-evaluating its civilian nuclear energy sector as a strategic, industrial, and geopolitical priority. Driven by the pursuit of energy sovereignty and decarbonization following the energy crisis triggered by the invasion of Ukraine, the nuclear relaunch faces challenges including an aging power plant fleet, uranium supply, and waste management.
