Second Law on the Development of the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Quota; (106 page(s), in German)
The national greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota) will be continued and the following measures will be taken to this end:
- The mandatory percentage reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from fuels will be continued until 2040 and will gradually increase to 59%. This corresponds to a share of renewable energies in total energy consumption of 62% according to the RED III calculation method.
- A general quota for renewable fuels of non-biogenic origin will be introduced across the scope of application of the GHG quota.
- The quota for advanced biofuels (from raw materials listed in Annex IX, Part A of Directive (EU) 2018/2001) will be increased and double counting of advanced biofuels will be eliminated.
- Renewable fuels will only be eligible for the GHG quota if on-site checks by the competent authority according to Article 17 Paragraph 1 of the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/996 are possible.
- The crediting of biofuels from palm oil production residues to the GHG quota will be discontinued.
Further amendments to the Federal Immissions Control Act (BImSchG) serve to implement Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 (ReFuelEU Aviation). In particular, the authorities responsible for enforcing the regulation in Germany are specified. In addition, sanctions for violations of Regulation (EU) 2023/2405 are laid down in the BImSchG. The scope of the Biofuel Sustainability Regulation (Biokraft-NachV) is extended to include biofuels for aviation, and the scope of the 37th Federal Immissions Control Ordinance (37th BImSchV) is extended to include synthetic aviation fuels and renewable hydrogen for aviation. Further adjustments to the 37th BImSchV are necessary to adopt the amended provisions of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/996 regarding the accreditation requirement for certification bodies.
