Question 9590 — energy and fuels

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Vincendet draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the removal of the tax advantage on non-road diesel (GNR) included in the law on January 1, 2024. This removal has been postponed four times in the last five years, demonstrating its unbearable nature for public works companies. To date, despite the Government's announcements, this removal still constitutes a pure measure of tax efficiency in the absence of an ecological alternative in terms of energy. In fact, only a few electric vehicles have appeared on the market. Hydrogen is not yet a mature technology and as for the use of biofuels, its cost is prohibitive. A fortiori, no support measure for the public works sector was voted during the latest budget discussions. The abolition of the GNR thus remains a measure that is difficult to sustain for companies in an inflationary context, reinforced by the recent implementation of extended producer responsibility (REP PMCB). In view of the above, a further postponement of the elimination of the tax advantage on the GNR seems essential during the next finance bill. This new postponement must be accompanied by a real ecological transition plan, as the Government is committed to implementing in other economic sectors. Public works companies are particularly awaiting the implementation of the following measures: as part of the multi-annual energy program, to indicate "black and white" access to low-carbon liquid fuels as a priority for non-road uses such as works public authorities with a clear commitment from public authorities to ensure production capacities. As part of the next finance bill, to postpone the abolition of RNG for five years, to implement in parallel ecological taxation to make access to biofuels attractive and thus accelerate the decarbonization of the sector; to reintroduce an additional depreciation mechanism for the acquisition of machinery and equipment more ecological without time limit, in order to support companies in their new acquisitions as new models arrive on the market; to strongly support economically accessible leasing schemes for electricity and hydrogen and finally, to massively deploy retrofitting thanks to support for manufacturers in the sector and financial support for companies. In view of the whole of These considerations and proposals, he asks it to please clarify whether a further postponement of the abolition of the GNR is under study and what support measures the Government intends to adopt to support the public works sector in its energy transition.
