For several years, methanisation has been widely developed in the rural sector. This process, which makes it possible to use agricultural waste and residues to produce biogas, is a new source of income for farmers. But can the rapid development of this renewable energy sector promote agroecology? Should its development be supervised or regulated? What place for biogas in the French energy mix? Jeanne Cadiou answers Sophie Larmoyer's questions.
The ecological transition (energy or agro-ecological transition, development issues, etc.) is a subject of public policies. They are complex, sometimes underpinned by blockages or misunderstandings. At IDDRI, we propose possible solutions based on science. We put them on the democratic agenda because they are aimed at political and economic decision-makers, as well as at civil society as a whole. In these podcasts, IDDRI research fellows present their thoughts to shed light on the debate.
