Globally, material footprint assessments reveal the consumption perspective of resource use in economic growth, scarcity critical raw materials, productivity dynamics nations, and how they affect environmental quality. France is a key international voice on climate change crusades due largely to its share nuclear power generation energy mix, but it has difficulty reaching domestic targets. Given increasing global concerns for policy action, this paper explores role transport infrastructure investments total supply case between 1995Q1–2020Q4, using novel nonlinear autoregressive distributive lag techniques (NARDL). To realize goal, renewable growth were considered as controlled variables. The outcomes study that (a) exert either positive or negative impact depending shock period; (b) also increases footprint. These are suggestions: (i) ensure sustainable use, could increase commitment efficiency roadmap outlined Europe 2020 strategy green growth. Additionally, policies needed offshore sourcing detect driving forces behind consumption. (ii) sector contributes 32% France's greenhouse gas emissions. With insight, should promote heavily invest sources incentivize switch from combustion engines electric car through taxation budgetary allocations.
