Question 16220 — energy and fuels

Summary

Ms. Delphine Batho questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition on the application of articles 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Law No. 2017-1839 of December 30, 2017 putting an end to research and the exploitation of hydrocarbons and establishing various provisions relating to energy and the environment. Indeed, article 7 of Law No. 2017-1839 provides “within one year from the promulgation of the present law, the Government submits to Parliament a report on support for companies and employees impacted by the gradual end of hydrocarbon exploration and exploitation activities as well as on the reconversion of the territories concerned. In addition, article 8 of this same law provides that “the Government presents to Parliament, before December 31, 2018, a report assessing the environmental impact of crude oils and refined and natural gases released for consumption in France depending in particular on their origin, the type of resource and their conditions of extraction, refining and transport. Finally, article 10 provides “within one year from the promulgation of this law, the Government shall submit to Parliament a report on State competition of all kinds in support of research and exploitation activities of hydrocarbons outside the territories defined in article L. 111-8 of the mining code”. None of these reports was tabled in the National Assembly within the deadline set by the legislator. Furthermore, article 9 stipulates that “companies importing hydrocarbons on French soil make public, each year from January 1, 2019, the intensity of unit greenhouse gas emissions over the entire life cycle per unit energy from imported hydrocarbons. The State sets annually by decree the method of calculating this intensity of imported hydrocarbons, specifying the differentiated emission factors for each fuel source. However, it appears that this decree has not been published. This is why she wishes to know the measures that the Government intends to take urgently to enforce articles 7, 8, 9 and 10 of Law No. 2017-1839.
