How to Increase Value of French Real Estate: France transitions to Clean Energy
The location of French real estate impacts its value.
Now that France as a nation is embracing a transition to Clean Energy this will help improve the desirability of many parts of France. Who would not want to live in a country with cleaner air?
In August 2015 France committed fully to energy transformation in the 21st century.
There are six major objectives:
- To cut greenhouse gas emissions to contribute to the target of a 40% decrease in EU emissions by 2030 (compared with 1990 levels);
- To Cut France’s consumption of fossil based fuels by 30% by 2030;
- To Reduce the France’s share of nuclear energy to 50% of electricity production by 2025;
- To increase the share of renewables to 32% of final energy consumption by 2030 and to 40% of electricity production;
- To cut in half France’s final energy consumption by 2050 (compared with 2012);
- To cut waste going into landfills by 50% by 2050
