PCAET

PCAET (Plan Climat-Air-Énergie Territorial) is a French regulatory planning tool required from inter-municipal public bodies (EPCI) above 20,000 inhabitants by the Energy Transition Act. It contains a diagnosis of territorial GHG emissions, air pollutants and energy consumption, and a quantified six-year strategy.

The PCAET carbon diagnosis covers emissions from residential, tertiary, transport, industry, agriculture and waste sectors at territorial scale. The methodology relies on ADEME Base Carbone, INSEE and CITEPA data. The action plan must set sector targets aligned with the French National Low Carbon Strategy (SNBC).

Kabaun is not designed to replace a territorial PCAET but can feed the diagnosis of companies on the territory involved in the process, and provide local authorities with consolidated carbon data on the economic actors based locally.
