Question 20744 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Laurent Furst questions the Minister of State, Minister of Ecological and Inclusive Transition on the possible elimination of an aid mechanism encouraging the development of deep geothermal energy. Indeed, the executive has decided to remove aid for the production of electricity from geothermal energy from its draft bill on multi-annual energy programming. However, it would seem that this energy, renewable, carbon-free, and available continuously all year round is an investment for the future capable of meeting ambitions in terms of energy transition. However, geothermal energy requires considerable funding, as shown by the establishment of the first French deep geothermal site, located in Soutlz-Sous-Forêts in Alsace. Thus, without these subsidies, an entire emerging sector is threatened with extinction. However, a program research and development of the sector would make it possible to significantly reduce costs in the future. He would also like to know how the Government intends to encourage the possibilities offered by this promising technology in terms of employment and carbon-free energy production.
