The State will put 12 million euros on the table to finance a series of studies on ways to reduce carbon emissions from the Dunkirk region. The Minister of Industry and Energy, Roland Lescure, signed the first ZIBaC (low-carbon industrial zones) agreement in Dunkirk on Monday.
After Dunkirk, other ZIBacs are planned in France, notably in Le Havre, Saint-Nazaire, Fos-sur-Mer. The studies will focus on the production of “cheap carbon-free electricity”, from wind turbines, and nuclear reactors.
