27 Oct 2022

On 15 September 2022, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition issued a decree which aims to support the production of bio-methane from 2022 until 2026. It provides incentives for the construction of new plants for the production of sustainable bio-methane (from organic or agricultural waste) or plants for the production of electricity from agricultural biogas undergoing reconversion. In particularly, the Decree provides: - a capital contribution of 40 per cent on the eligible expenditure of the investment incurred within the limit of the maximum investment cost; - an incentive tariff applied to the net production of biomethane for a duration of 15 years.

The Decree entered into force upon its publication on 27 October 2022.
