French gas industry claims green gas saves €460B vs electrification

French gas industry representatives project that 'greening' natural gas (e.g., biomethane, hydrogen) would cost €460 billion less than full electrification to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. The claim, which serves industry interests, contradicts the government's current electrification-focused policy direction. The projection is an advocacy estimate, not an independent analysis, and its assumptions are unverified.
