Société du Grand Paris strives to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, in line with
France’s climate commitments to the European Union and under the Paris agreement.
It has developed its own tool, CarbOptimum®, to estimate the carbon footprint of
the Grand Paris Express.
The footprint will be positive by 2050, with a reduction in CO2 emissions of between
14.2 and 28.6 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents, depending on the forecast scenario
used.
The new metro will provide a reliable and efficient alternative to driving and change
mobility patterns, thus reducing greenhouse gas emissions from fuel. It will also drive
a process of urban transformation, with new, low-energy developments built around
the stations. Climate and energy are taken into account from the infrastructure
design phase not only to limit emissions during construction, but also to reduce
energy consumption during operation. Société du Grand Paris is also doing everything
it can to address the risks of climate change.
