France has introduced a comprehensive roadmap to eliminate fossil fuels from its economy by 2050. The plan sets specific deadlines for different energy sources, aiming to phase out coal by 2030, oil by 2045, and natural gas by 2050. While the plan consolidates existing climate targets rather than creating new pledges, it emphasizes the electrification of transport and heating. The strategy leverages France's strong nuclear power base to reduce reliance on hydrocarbons and reach carbon neutrality.
