Abolish CO2 pricing
Rejected
Proposal summary
The CO2 tax on heating oil and natural gas is to be abolished. The law requiring that new heating systems in buildings must run on at least 65 percent renewable energy is also to be repealed. The CO2 price is currently 55 euros per tonne; forecasts project prices of up to 300 euros per tonne by 2030, which would significantly increase the cost of heating with gas and oil. Around 75 percent of the roughly 41 million homes in Germany are currently heated with gas or oil systems.
