The accumulation of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2, methane and nitrous oxide) is causing the warming of the atmosphere, oceans, continental surfaces and melting ice.

Warming attributable to human activity explains, according to the IPCC, more than 98% of the increase in temperature over the period 2011-2020 compared to the period 1850-1900 (+1.09°).

This rise in temperature is largely attributable to carbon dioxide (C02) whose emissions due to man are distributed as follows (Source IEA)

•87% comes from the combustion of coal, natural gas and oil

•9% comes from deforestation and changes in land use

•4% come from other industrial processes such as cement manufacturing.

The main sectors involved are buildings and transport, in particular road transport, agriculture and heavy industries such as extraction and energy processing, cement works, fertilizer production, mineral extraction and metallurgy. , etc….

The hydrocarbon industry is directly involved because it participates in the extraction and availability of fossil fuels that cause global warming. It is also able to propose and implement solutions on the scale of the climate problem, insofar as the economic rules encourage or force it to implement the powerful industrial and financial means at its disposal.

Like all energy players, players in the sector are now facing a systemic change that affects their reason of being.

The fossil fuel industry is now facing a systemic change that touches its very foundations. The entire fossil fuel energy chain is impacted. What changes are already underway and what are the likely developments? What are the risks and opportunities that are open to specialists in the world of carbon-based fossil fuels ? What are the limits of current solutions? What is the effective impact ? What are the new solutions to be considered for the decarbonation of fossil fuel energies ? Can we think out of the box ?

What messages to convey to decision-makers and influencers in charge of energy and environment protection policy who will contribute to the discussions of COP 27 in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt in November 2022 and those of other future major events?

This webinar will be organized in 5 sessions lasting 30 minutes each, starting with a presentation of 10 to 12 minutes and ending with a question-and-answer session of 8 to 10 minutes. An audience of about fifty to a hundred ACP members and qualified people from the worlds of carbon fossil fuels and hydrogen is invited.

→ Carbon-based vs other energies and ongoing changes in the carbon-based energy industry

Human activity cannot do without the use of carbon-based energies, starting with the food we eat each day. The history of Life shows us that it has been developing for more than 3.5 billion years with carbon-based energies. At the level of human societies, the weight of carbon-based energies in the primary energy mix has always remained above 80%. Is it realistic to aim to achieve in less than 30 years a switch to a carbon-free energy mix? Shouldn't a significant part of this mix be reserved for carbon-based energies while reducing the share of fossil fuels? An analysis of the energy transition processes shows the important role that the geosphere must play in this transition and therefore the importance of using the technological capabilities of the fossil fuel industries to achieve this transition as quickly as possible.

→ Carbon-neutral or carbon-negative energy production methods

We will mention and discuss about:

•Bio and electro carbon-based fuels

•Opportunities to increase geological carbon sequestration capabilities via natural terrestrial or oceanic cycles

•The possibilities of regenerative production of methane and hydrogen under underground conditions.

→ Detoxifying the economy away from fossil fuels

The following possibilities will be recalled and discussed :

•lowering the carbon intensity of produced fossil fuels within existing production concessions.

•leveraging the existing or idle infrastructure for geothermal production or energy storage

•the use of petroleum technologies to produce energy transition metals

→ Empowering fossil fuel producers

The following will be presented and discussed:

•Economic concepts and tools to channel the industrial power of fossil fuel producers in the realization of the energy transition.

•Scenarios illustrating the possible economic or political impact of their implementation.

→ Engage decision-makers and influencers in the fight against climate change on 2 key issues

• The challenges of the energy transition in Africa or the Middle East and how they differ from those of Europe, China or America.

• The nature and importance of the role of women in the implementation of solutions to meet climate challenges

➔ Conclusion: review of concrete proposals to decision-makers and influencers

• The concrete proposals formalized during the morning, and intended for political and economic decision-makers, are reviewed and validated with the participants. They will form the basis of the position of ACP Energies and its partners in order to define and implement high-impact regulations, measures and actions with the aim of facilitating the transition to non-fossil energies and stopping net greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse effect.

Procedure:

On each sequence, a discussion will begin with the audience to formulate concrete and operational proposals with immediate effect on the climate and with the objective that they be relayed to political decision-makers, industry, NGOs and climate funds. The sessions will be filmed and recorded
