Québec doit encadrer et soutenir le stockage de carbone, affirme son comité sur le climat
AI Article Summary
Quebec's Climate Change Advisory Committee advises the government to support carbon storage development by creating a regulatory framework. Permanent storage is vital for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 and should not be confused with temporary nature-based solutions. The report emphasizes compensating the residual 15% of emissions with permanent sequestration solutions. The land use and forestry sector is targeted for an emissions reduction strategy through sustainable forest management.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
For Quebec builders, this means they may soon need to comply with new carbon storage standards, potentially impacting construction permits. Technological support and pilot projects could offer funding opportunities to integrate sequestration solutions into their projects. The gradual implementation of regulations could also affect timelines for future projects.
