Question 4411 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Jocelyn Dessigny draws the attention of the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity, Forests, Sea and Fisheries regarding the downward revision of the MaPrimeRénov' aid scale. This system will undergo several adjustments in 2025, mainly motivated by budgetary and strategic considerations. After a 30% reduction in aid for the installation of wood heating appliances last April, a A further reduction is planned from the start of 2025. In eight months, public support for this equipment will therefore have been reduced by a third. However, pellet wood heating is popular as an ecological, economical and local solution. In a circular economy logic resulting from the wood-forest industry, pellets contribute to French energy sovereignty, with national production autonomy estimated at 85%. The reduction in aid ignores the modernization of equipment and the improvement of fuel quality. The cost of pellets is today less than 350 euros per tonne, a solution three times cheaper than electricity, half cheaper than gas from a tank and 40% less expensive than fuel oil or town gas. Forest chips, delivered by the tonne, cost an average of 100 to 120 euros per tonne, which makes it a particularly competitive solution for collective or agricultural heating installations. Logs, for their part, are priced between 80 and 100 euros per stere, depending on the species and packaging. This makes it still a very affordable energy source for households equipped with efficient boilers or inserts. Wood heating, in all its forms (pellets, chips, logs), emits on average 26 g of CO2 per kWh, compared to 200 to 300 g for electricity or fossil fuels. Modern systems guarantee high performance while reducing fine particle emissions. The reduction in the scale goes against the recommendations of the General Secretariat for Ecological Planning (SGPE), which recommends support for domestic wood heating under certain conditions. He would like to know what measures she plans to taken to support the entire biomass sector which will be directly impacted by the revision of the MaPrimRénov' system.
