"France has become the first European country to ban adverts for fossil fuels
under a new climate law.

Announced on 22 August, the legislation prohibits advertising for all energy
products related to fossil fuels such as petrol products, energy from the
combustion of coal mining and hydrogen-containing carbons.

Adverts for natural gas are still allowed for now but new rules are set to be
introduced in June next year.

Companies that go against the new law could face fines of between €20,000 and
€100,000 with repeat offenders paying double the amount."
