Federal Government: fixed quota for renewable energies in traffic

The share of renewable energy in traffic is expected to rise to 28 percent in germany by 2030 and thus twice as high as provided by the EU. This is from a legislative eligibility, which the federal government on wednesday (3. February 2021) has decided. In addition to rough incentives for "green hydrogen" and the expansion of charging vacuums, it also includes the end of palmol as a biofuel from 2026.

In air traffic, a minimum share of fuel made of okostrom is introduced. This current-based kerosene should gradually account for at least two percent by 2030. Fuels from food and forage plants should be made of conservation – if possible, not in the tank land. Your share should be limited to the current level at 4.4 percent.

"With the law on the claim of climate-friendly fuels, the federal government creates an effective instrument to really reduce greenhouse gas emissions", said federal environment minister svenja schulze (SPD). It must be ensured that biofuels do not destroy nature, the minister said. "What porroy should replace, do not destroy the rainforest at the same time."

With the lawnove, the EU directive is implemented for renewable energies in traffic. It provides that the share of renewable energies in total energy consumption in the transport sector 2030 in the EU must be at least 14 percent. Germany fills these EU specifications on the greenhouse gas reduction rate (THG quota) and wants to significantly overcome them with the now decided to be adopted.

The THG quota obliges mineral companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of their fuels to currently six percent. It should increase gradually to 22 percent by 2030. For this, the companies can use less environmentally harmful energy carriers such as green hydrogen, okostream or biofuels. The "advanced" biofuels offset or straw should reach a share of at least 1.75 percent after the legislation by 2030 – if the THG quota is not otherwise fulfilled.
