The French biofuels sector, bringing together farmers and industrial players, is opposing a tax revision included in the 2026 draft budget, which proposes to eliminate or reduce tax advantages for certain agriculturally derived fuels. This decision, reportedly made without prior consultation, would result in a 380% tax increase for Superethanol E85 and 400% for B100 biodiesel.
