The manufacturers and installers of oil boilers, as well as the oil sellers are going to get the hang of it !!
I can't believe it is applied so early ... (it's not too early but it's extremely fast in the application ...)
Prohibition to install an oil or coal boiler from 2022
Posted on 28 / 07 / 2020 at 11h12
To speed up the phase-out of fossil fuel heating, the installation of oil or coal-fired boilers will be banned from 2022.
To encourage the French to abandon heating with fossil fuels, which is a major source of pollution, the government has decided to prohibit the renewal and installation of new boilers running on oil or coal from 2022. In addition, the he increase in the budget dedicated to subsidies for ecological installations has already been recorded. Update on this measure announced within the framework of the Ecological Defense Council.
Prohibition to install an oil or coal boiler from 2022
On Monday, July 27, 2020, the 5th Ecological Defense Council took place at the Élysée Palace, which brings together the ministers around the theme of the ecological transition.
In 2019, the state gave itself 10 years to completely eliminate oil or coal boilers. Even if they are gradually abandoned in favor of more environmentally friendly systems, there are still around 3,5 million left in France.
In order to speed up the phase-out of fossil fuel heating, the government has just announced the ban on the replacement and installation of new boilers of this type from 2022.
Massive increase in aid
"It is impossible to force households to change their fuel oil or coal boilers by 2022", said the entourage of the Minister of Ecological Transition Barbara Pompili. “We therefore prohibit replacements and new installations: if your oil-fired boiler breaks down tomorrow, you will have to replace it with a heat pump, a gas or pellet boiler. But in no case by such polluting equipment. "
Also, the State intends to support households in their energy transition effort by increasing “very massively” the aid granted for the energy improvement of housing. The eligibility conditions for “Ma Prime Rénov '” will be extended - allowing access to better-off households and landlords - and an additional budget of 2 billion euros will be invested in this context.
Between “My Renovation Premium” and the subsidies obtained thanks to energy saving certificates, the most modest households will be able to benefit from subsidies which will cover 80% of the cost of replacing their oil or coal boiler.

And for a few days now, this has also concerned gas ... from 2021 !!
Gas heating soon banned in new homes
The new environmental regulations will lead to the exclusion of gas from new homes in France from next year, and from collective housing from 2024. A revolution that darkens the horizon for gas suppliers.

An FB comment:
"(...) this rule says that gas is, with fuel oil, a fossil fuel, and that it is not on the right side of the barrier for the transition. The next step will obviously be , to bring it down quickly in the existing one.
As this will take a long time to do, it is imperative to give the sector a long-term course (for example prohibiting the replacement of a gas boiler by another gas boiler after 2025 or 2030) in order to provide alternative sectors (in particular the heat pump, but also geothermal energy, heating networks or wood, when it is well used) time to prepare.
In any case, it's a step in the right direction! "
It will be a mess all this ... fortunately the life of a boiler is more than 20 years ...
Now I don't see how the new buildings will be heated without gas or oil ... except by wood and ... nuclear? Must reopen Fessenheim !!
The wood resource is limited and restrictive collectively ... and it is almost impossible to use it as a replacement for gas in an apartment which I think constitutes the largely majority heating ...
