Friends of the Earth et al. v. Prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône and Total

A case study on the legal challenge brought by NGOs against the Prefect of Bouches-du-Rhône and Total regarding the climate impacts of a biofuel refinery in France.

• The Administrative Court of Marseille partially invalidated the permit for Total to operate a biorefinery in France because the authorization was based on insufficient information regarding climate impacts. The court ordered Total to conduct a new study focusing on the cumulative direct and indirect climate effects related to the production, importation, and use of palm oil.
