Sassetot-le-Mauconduit: From Trees to Algae – The Essential Decarbonization
Last year, Anne de Bagneaux-Savatier came as a neighbor to participate in the Tapovan Planetary Garden, organized from May 16 to 19, 2023. She gave a conference on « Geopolitics of the Oceans. » Invited again this year, the oceanographer and biologist focused on decarbonization through algae and trees.

Decarbonization through Algae and Trees
Anne de Bagneaux-Savatier, a renowned oceanographer and biologist, highlighted the importance of decarbonization in the fight against climate change. She emphasized the role of algae and trees in this crucial process.
Algae, often overlooked, play a significant role in absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Through photosynthesis, algae convert CO2 into oxygen, helping to reduce greenhouse gases. By promoting the growth of algae in oceans and other bodies of water, we can effectively decarbonize the environment.
On the other hand, trees are known for their carbon sequestration capabilities. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees absorb CO2 and store carbon in their biomass. By planting more trees and preserving existing forests, we can enhance the natural carbon capture and storage capacity of our planet.
Anne de Bagneaux-Savatier’s research and expertise shed light on the interconnectedness of marine and terrestrial ecosystems in the decarbonization process. By harnessing the power of algae and trees, we can mitigate the effects of climate change and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
The Importance of Global Collaboration
Addressing decarbonization requires a collective effort from governments, industries, and individuals worldwide. By implementing policies that support renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and forest conservation, we can accelerate the decarbonization process and protect our planet for future generations.
In conclusion, decarbonization through algae and trees is a vital strategy in combating climate change and preserving the health of our planet. By recognizing the importance of these natural resources and taking proactive steps to support their growth, we can build a more resilient and sustainable world for all. Let’s work together to embrace decarbonization and secure a brighter future for our planet.
