The main scheme is Bpifrance and ADEME's Diag Décarbon'Action, which subsidises 40% of a first Bilan Carbone® priced at a fixed €10,000 excl. VAT, leaving €6,000 excl. VAT payable by companies with fewer than 500 employees. ADEME's regional offices also co-fund studies at rates of 20 to 50% depending on the region, particularly useful for companies that are not eligible for the Diag. Professional sector funds come next; the research tax credit does not cover a Bilan Carbone® itself, only genuine R&D carried out alongside it. Large programmes such as France 2030 or Bpifrance's Prêt Vert finance investments, rather than the assessment itself. Diag eligibility should be tested first, before requesting a quote.
