Building Sector and German national emissions trading scheme for fuel emissions
The German Buildings Energy Act sets a new, uniform and harmonised rulebook for energy efficiency and for the use of heat from renewables in buildings. At the same time, the Recovery stimulus package entails state funding for building renovations and the switch to renewable energies.
Starting in 2021, a national emissions-trading scheme will be introduced. It will cover all fuel-based emissions that are not covered by the EU-ETS (particularly heating and transport). For an initial period, between 2021 and 2025, certificate prices will be fixed, starting at 25€ in 2021 and rising annually to 55€ in 2025. Thus, there will be a reliable price path that will enable both citizens and the economy to adapt to the new development. . Revenues from the national emission trading scheme will be directed to fund programmes for GHG abatement and to lower the prices of electricity (thus compensating households and businesses and further fostering low-carbon technology deployment).
