Question 31422 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Mohamed Laqhila questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery on the tax differential applicable to biofuel produced from flotation fats compared to other biofuels. Some players in the agricultural world have developed, thanks to significant investments in research and development, a so-called advanced biofuel, produced from flotation fats. Because of their material First, advanced biofuels have a limit filterability temperature (TLF) of +10°C and freeze below this temperature. In fact, with the average French climate, these advanced biofuels can be used during the summer period in 100% incorporation (we then speak of B100). The rest of the year, a formula incorporating 30% advanced biofuel (B30, already defined by the customs code) would contribute to a reduction considerable GHG emissions from captive fleets all year round. However, unlike the B100 which benefits from a reduced TICPE, the B30 is not fiscally supported. However, everything converges to prove that advanced biofuels based on flotation fats constitute real ecological alternatives to fossil fuels. Other tax-exempt fuels in proportion to the quantity of advanced biofuel incorporated could be defined, such as for example B50, made up of 50% advanced biofuel. This fuel represents the optimal compromise between the technical constraints of incorporating advanced biofuel and reducing the carbon impact of the transport sector. Without these adaptations, France will not be able to meet the European objectives requiring 3.5% incorporation of advanced biofuel in transport in 2030. Also, keen to adapt the French tax framework with the essential challenges of the ecological and energy transition, he questions it on the measures envisaged to reform the TICPE in order to make the use of these advanced biofuels in captive fleets more competitive in all circumstances.
