DescriptionConsidered ending tax incentives provided when palm oil-based biodiesel is added to regular transport diesel.
NotesThe French National Assembly voted to end on environmental grounds tax incentives provided when palm oil-based biodiesel is added to regular transport diesel. Under the parliamentary decision, as of 2020, palm oil-based biodiesel would be treated as regular diesel rather than green fuel and would no longer count towards the EUs targets for renewable energy in transport.
