Question 41542 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Florian Bachelier questions the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Recovery on the need to support the production in France of advanced biofuels through tax incentives. He recalls that the subsidiary Cooperl Environnement, of the Cooperl company, the first pig cooperative in France, has in fact developed an advanced biofuel model unique in Europe, produced from flotation fats: fatty residues from slaughterhouses, butchery workshops, delicatessens and neighboring sewage treatment plants. This biofuel meets the criteria of point d) of Annex IX-A of Directive No. 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, relating to the promotion of the use of energy produced from renewable sources. The production of such a biofuel, authorized today on an experimental basis, is fully in line with the trajectory of a green economy since its use in B60 (60% incorporation of advanced biofuel in the engine mixture) shows a 50% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the use of conventional diesel. It also meets the requirements of the circular economy and contributes to France's achievement of the objectives of the European RED II directive of 3.5% incorporation of advanced biofuel in transport in 2030. In addition, at given the raw materials used, the production of this biofuel does not enter into competition with food production. Biofuel produced from flotation fats cannot also be used in B100 all year round, but only in B60, since the limit filterability temperature (TLF) is +10°C. However, despite its environmental advantages, the biofuel used in B60 is not eligible for double tax relief (TIRIB - article 266 quindecies of the customs code and TICPE relief - article 265 of the customs code) which benefits B100 biofuels, such as those produced from rapeseed. Such a reduction in the TICPE applicable to advanced B60 biofuels would make it possible to promote the production, in 2023, of 20 million liters of advanced methyl esters and thus recycle 250 million liters of fats. flotation (around 30% of the national deposit), in order to supply biofuel to local captive fleets, without changing engines. Given the numerous advantages of this innovation, he therefore asks it if it will study the extension to advanced B60 biofuels of the TICPE reductions applicable to B100, in proportion to the levels of incorporation of pure FAME, thus allowing the emergence of a greater diversity of sectors French companies producing advanced biofuels.
