In Short

The Situation: A new set of measures has been adopted in France which will promote "Green Industry" by streamlining environmental and industrial authorization and supporting low-carbon industrialization projects.

The Result: The law pursues an overall objective aimed at accelerating the reindustrialization of territories, which results in particular into (i) the creation of 50 new turnkey industrial sites, (ii) a drastic reduction of the duration of the permitting procedures related to industrial sites, and (iii) an exceptional simplified procedure for projects of major national interest.

Looking Ahead: Subject to their effective implementation, these measures should encourage and accelerate the development of industrial projects in France. The first effects of these measures should soon be visible according to the government, with the first turnkey industrial sites due to be supported in January 2024.
