French transport and logistics firms, local governments, and industry associations are expressing strong opposition to a potential government policy shift. This change is anticipated to substantially elevate the price of biomethane when used as a fuel for transportation. Stakeholders warn that this could undermine around 5 billion euros in planned investments dedicated to making road transport more sustainable.
For freight forwarders and logistics operators, an increase in biomethane costs would directly impact operational expenses for fleets utilizing this alternative fuel. This could lead to higher transport rates, affecting supply chain budgets and potentially slowing down the transition to greener road logistics solutions in France. Companies that have already invested in biomethane-powered vehicles or infrastructure may face unexpected financial pressures and a reduced return on their sustainability investments.
