Financing carbon footprints or depolluting industrial wastelands, green private savings: elected officials and industrialists presented a series of proposals on Monday to build the future bill on “green industry” that the government would like to table before the summer.
They presented Bercy 29 proposals from the five working groups set up between industrialists and deputies to draw up this text, intended to promote carbon-free industrialization of the country and fight against the increased competitiveness of the United States since the announcement of the anti-inflation plan. of Joe Biden, while fighting global warming, pollution and urban sprawl.
The implementation of this text, which aims to encourage industrial employment especially among women and to shorten the procedures for authorization to set up sites, will have to be done at zero cost to public finances, warned Bercy upstream.
In particular, it is counting on a reallocation of funds not used in the France 2030 investment plan in the form of subsidies or tax credits allowing manufacturers to decarbonize.
Directing private savings towards ecologically virtuous projects
The new sectors to be encouraged are batteries, metals, hydrogen electrolysers, heat pumps, next-generation nuclear, photovoltaic and wind power, carbon capture, semiconductors and electrical networks.
To finance these measures, a reduction in tax advantages is envisaged in particular, via the increase in certain reduced rates of the internal tax on the consumption of energy products (TICPE) or the penalty on the most polluting vehicles, and the abolition of the doubling of aid from the research tax credit (CIR) for young doctors.

Products to direct private savings towards ecologically virtuous projects are also offered. If the text will be a government bill, it is pairs of deputies and business leaders who have cleared the ground.
Several elected officials have been involved in recent months: five deputies from the presidential camp (Renaissance, MoDem, Horizons) and the mayor (Horizons) of Montceau-les-Mines Marie-Claude Jarrot, under the leadership of the chairman of the Economic Affairs Committee of the Assembly Guillaume Kasbarian (Renaissance).
The presidential camp, which does not have an absolute majority at the Palais-Bourbon, will have to convince beyond its benches to have the text adopted, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne having pledged to no longer resort to 49.3 outside of budgetary texts .
