Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a national “ecological plan” to reduce France’s greenhouse gas emissions by 55% and end the use of fossil fuels by 2030.
Speaking after a special ministerial council at the Elysée, the French president said an extra €10bn (£8.7bn) would be put towards the 50-point programme, which he described as “ecology à la Française”.
The plan was aimed at addressing the climate crisis while ensuring that France remained competitive in agriculture and industry, said Macron.
Other measures in the plan include the acceleration of electric car production, with brakes on gas boilers, though the president stopped short of a total ban.
It also includes new projects for offshore windfarms, the opening of several electric battery factories in northern France, a map to establish where natural resources can be found in France, including hydrogen gas and essential elements for lithium batteries, and €700m state investment in the regional train network.
Antoine Pellion was tasked with “coordinating the development of national strategies in the fields of climate, energy, biodiversity and the circular economy”.
