-
1 billion euro invested in nuclear energy (small scale reactors with improved waste management)Source:
-
Increase the share of renewable electricity in national energy production to 10% of French energy demand by 2010 against a 2005 baseline
-
Bring the share of renewables up to 32% of the energy mix by 2030 against a 2015 baseline
-
Minimum 23% of energy mix by 2020 sourced from renewable energy sourcesSource:
-
Renewable energy's share of energy mix at 32% by 2030Source:
-
Cut the national energy usage by at least 50% by 2050 by 2050 against a 2015 baseline
-
Reduce energy intensity by 2% annually between 2005 and 2015, and by 2.5% between 2005 and 2030 by 2015, 2030 against a 2005 baseline
-
Reduce intensity of GHG emissions by at least 10% in 2020 and 20% in 2025 compared to 2010 levels by 2020, 2025 against a 2010 baseline
-
Improve energy efficiency by 20% by 2015 against a 2009 baselineSource:
-
Cap the total output from nuclear power at 63.2 GW and reduce France's reliance on nuclear power from the current 75% to 50% by 2030 against a 2015 baseline
-
Reduce energy consumption by at least 40% by 2020 and their GHG emissions by 50% by 2020 against a 2010 baselineSource:
-
A 17 per cent reduction in final energy consumption compared to 2012.
-
A 36% reduction in primary fossil energy consumption compared to 2012.
-
A 33% increase in the consumption of energy from renewable sources.
-
In 2030, France will have at least two gigafactories of electrolysers on its soil and will massively produce hydrogen and all the technologies useful for its use.Source:
-
Reduce the share of fossil fuels in energy production by 30% by 2020 against a 2012 baseline
