French industry is responsible for 20% of energy consumption and 20% of greenhouse gas emissions, including 64% emitted by the most energy-intensive industries: chemicals, aluminum and steel, cement, sugar, glass production and paper/cardboard.
With this in mind, the France 2030 program devotes 50% of its budget - i.e. 5.6 billion euros - to the eco-efficiency of industrial sites. This commitment is an integral part of the major strategies for accelerating innovation. Indeed, the "Decarbonizing Industry" strategy aims to :
- support the development of innovative technologies for low-carbon industry (hydrogen, carbon capture, green logistics, eco-design, etc.);
- finance the deployment of mature solutions for decarbonizing industrial sites (waste recycling, renewable energies, etc.).
Meeting commitments to ecological, energy and economic transition, as well as addressing societal, climatic and environmental changes, are common challenges for manufacturers.
Against this backdrop, the French government, through the new Finance Act 2024 (LoF 2024), is introducing new environmental policies and tax measures to accelerate the ecological transition of businesses.
Discover :
- Understand the new tax credit for green industry: the C3IV, which finances investments in the production of battery cells and modules, wind power, solar panels and heat pumps.
- Explore other mechanisms for financing investment in energy efficiency improvements: Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) and their 2024 bonus, and dedicated public aid (ADEME).
Our experts will review tax schemes and financial incentives to encourage companies to opt for greener practices.
