Do you heat with fuel oil (or coal)?We will have to think about changing or adapting your boiler

À partir du 1^er juillet 2022, le fioul et le charbon, c’est fini… ou presque.According to a decree published in the Official Journal on January 6, "new equipment installed for heating or production of domestic hot water in residential or professional, new or existing buildings, must respect a program of emissionsgreenhouse gases of 300 GCO2EQ/KWH PCI ".

A ceiling that de facto excludes the installation of new equipment operating with coal or fuel oil.Only the new heating equipment supplied by electricity, biomass, solar or geothermal energy, gas, or even equipment supplied with a liquid biocombustible (such as biofioul) will be authorized in new constructions,as soon as they respect the fixed emission threshold.

"Respect the Paris Agreement"

For the Ministry of Ecological Transition, the objective is to put an end to the installations which would lead to perpetuate for several years of heating modes strongly emitting greenhouse gases."There are not 4,000 paths to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions in France and respect the Paris Agreement.It is necessary to act as a priority in the sectors which emit the most, like that of the building, "notes Barbara Pompili, Minister of Ecological Transition.

In France, the building is the second most emitting greenhouse sector.It alone represents 27 % of CO2 emissions and 45 % of the country's final energy consumption.

Concretely, what does it change for the four million French people who still heat fuel oil?At the moment T, as long as the boiler works, not much.En effet, si à partir du 1^er juillet 2022, le chauffage au fioul et au charbon (très minoritaire) sera officiellement banni des nouveaux logements, cela fait bien longtemps que les constructeurs ne les intègrent plus dans leurs projets de construction.And for those who have existing equipment running fuel or coal, they will be able to continue to use them without having to change fuel or heating mode.

On the other hand, if the system makes the soul, they will be forced to replace it with more "virtuous" equipment

But don't panic, the government wants to be reassuring.Since the beginning of 2019, important aid has been implemented, both for households and the tertiary sector: the devices of energy savings certificates (EEC), including the "boost heating" and the "stroke ofinch heating of tertiary buildings ", but also" Maprimerenov 'paid by Anah ", reassures the Ministry of Ecological Transition.

Would the government suddenly become philanthropic?It must be said that the question of transition to a new heating system, necessarily expensive, takes on a significant political and social aspect."France of fuel oil heating is rural.A part is poor, even very poor: along the diagonal of the vacuum stretching from the Ardennes to the Cévennes, "explains Jérôme Fourquet, Director of the Opinion and Business Strategies Department at Ifop.

Some exceptions

In order to take account of specific situations and not to place any household in difficulty, derogations from the threshold of 300 GCO2EQ/KWH PCI are planned by the government.According to text, fuel oil and coal can still be used if there is a technical impossibility linked to the characteristics of the building.Other exceptions: the absence of a connection solution to heat or natural gas networks and when the installation of new equipment requires strengthening work on the public electricity distribution network.

Biofioul for a green boiler

Unlike the wish of the Minister of Ecological Transition, the new decree does not prohibit biofioul.

For Elisabeth Chesnais, from UFC what to choose ?, This green fuel oil can be a solution for people in rural areas.It guarantees households not to have to invest in a more expensive system.Several models of Biofioul compatible boiler are already on the market.

For a 35 kW with a 150 L balloon and a burner, it takes nearly € 3,000 (without tank).Thus, the F30 will arrive on the market from July 202222.

The latter, more respectful of the new threshold, will in most cases require adapting the classic fuel oil boiler by modifying the burner.An operation that can cost between 400 and 1,000 €.

In the long term, the objective of the sector is to increase the proportion of rapeseed to reach a 100 % vegetable biofioul by 2040.
