Question 11470 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Barusseau questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty on the announced developments of the MaPrimeRénov' system and more specifically on the elimination of aid for the replacement of heating appliances from January 1, 2026, confirmed in recent budgetary trajectories. The 2025 budget had already recorded a substantial reduction in the credits allocated to MaPrimeRénov', in particular - 30% under the previous Government, decision taken on December 4, 2024 by the government of Michel Barnier, the day before his resignation. This trajectory of state disengagement raises questions about strategic coherence, even though France has committed to a policy of accelerated decarbonization of the heating energy mix, in accordance with national objectives for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. greenhouse and energy independence. In this context, the biomass boiler sector, represented in particular by the collective of forest biomass boiler manufacturers, alerts to a paradox: the State has today decided to deprive itself of an ecological, strategic and sovereign resource, forest biomass, a solution recognized for its contribution to reducing the use of fossil fuels, its territorial roots, its job creation non-relocatable industrialists, as well as for its role in the sustainable development of French forest resources. However, numerous institutional signals were not lacking: unfavorable or reserved opinions given by consultative bodies such as the Economic, Social and Environmental Council, the National Housing Council or even the union representatives gathered in the Social and Economic Committee. Parliament has also been strongly mobilized over the last two years, through multiple interventions: questions to the Government, transpartisan budgetary amendments, letters without these questions having found a lasting translation in the programming of aid. On December 4, 2025, the French Association of Biomass Heating Professionals, supported by industrial players, or even distribution networks specialists such as the Chaudières biomasse distribution group, is organizing a symbolic mobilization in the National Assembly district in order to alert public authorities of the need to maintain clear support for decarbonized heating by biomass, in addition to other transition solutions. Also, he asks how the Government intends to guarantee the national ambition to sustainably decarbonize the energy mix heating and what compensatory measures or alternative measures is the State considering to preserve the industrial biomass heating sector, which is strategic for employment, industrial sovereignty and the development of French forest resources. He also asks what clear and lasting commitments will be made by the Government on the future of support for forest biomass in public policies. energy renovation, particularly in the multi-annual programming of aid for the energy transition.
