Question 17095 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Fabrice Barusseau draws the attention of the Minister Delegate, spokesperson for the Government to the Prime Minister, and Minister Delegate, responsible for energy to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty, to the consequences on the anaerobic digestion sector and on farmers of the orientations presented by the Government during the national discussion group on biogas on 25 June 2026. The multi-annual energy program sets ambitious objectives for the development of biomethane by 2030. To achieve them, several hundred new projects should see the light of day in the coming years, led by agricultural operations. However, the announcements presented by the Government on June 25, 2026 seem to call into question the very economic conditions which will make it possible to achieve this path. The short-term end of the purchase price, combined with the reduction in its ceiling and the acceleration of the implementation of a call for tenders system, even though the biogas production certificates are not yet fully operational, creates incomprehension and major uncertainty for project leaders and their financiers. They weaken the stability of the public framework, which is nevertheless essential to financing of long-term agricultural and industrial projects. These decisions will cause the halt of numerous agricultural methanization projects which have already invested at least a hundred thousand euros each, even though these installations contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, to energy sovereignty, to the agricultural transition, to the reduction of dependence on imported fertilizers. and the economic development of rural areas. These directions are contrary to the objectives set by the multi-annual energy program, the achievement of which requires accelerating the development of biomethane. Under these conditions, he asks how the Government can set, on the one hand, ambitious targets for biomethane production in the multi-annual energy program and, on the other, remove the conditions economics that enable their achievement. While farmers have responded to the call from public authorities by investing massively in this sector, he asks what measures the Government intends to take to prevent these announcements from bringing a lasting, or even definitive, blow to agricultural methanization and how it intends to preserve current projects, restore investor confidence and guarantee achieving the objectives set by the multi-annual energy program.
