The subsidy for biogas and solar thermal technologies (fonds chaleur) is the main support scheme for RES-H&C on the national level in France. It is a subsidy administered by ADEME and is targeted towards biomass and solar thermal technologies.
There is also a Regional scheme for the subsidy, which is administered by ADEME in the form of regularly launched calls for projects aimed at local authorities and companies wishing to develop systems for producing heating or cooling from biomass, geothermal energy, thermal solar energy and biogas.
In the NECP, France has set a target of 38% renewable energies in final heat consumption by 2030. -
