Abstract

The «Seine Waterway Axis » is located along the Seine river from Le Havre to Paris. A high density of manufacturing and heavy industry chararcterizes the area's economic activities. Regarding ecological transition objectives both reducing industry sector CO2 emissions and maintaining local employment are two majors challenges for local stakeholders of this spatial area. In 2010, the Seine Waterway Axis’ energy production's sector gathers 32% of the French total emissions of this sector. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) appears to be a relevant technology in such a context. In 2007/2008 the idea of using CCS grew in some of the Seine Waterway Axis’ stakeholders mind. But since, only few industrial scale's projects came to reality. How consider the future of this technology in this spatial area? How carbon capture and storage could contribute to mitigate CO2 emissions in the Seine Waterway Axis? In this paper we will answer these question in analysing both spatial dynamics of this territories and expectations linkec with CCS by various stakeholders of the Seine Waterway Axis.
