  • Failure to meet greenhouse gas emission targets in the transport sector between 2021 and 2030 could result in payments ranging from 3 to 36 billion euros.
  • Germany has committed to reducing national greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, with a specific binding EU commitment to reduce emissions not covered by the EU Emissions Trading System (primarily transport, buildings, and agriculture) by 38% compared to 2005 levels, targeting a reduction from 465 to 296 MtCO2eq by 2030.
  • If targets are missed, Germany would likely need to purchase excess emission rights from other EU member states at an assumed price between 20 and 100 EUR/tCO2; failure to offset the deficit would lead to an EU infringement procedure.
  • The total cost of purchasing emission rights depends on the effectiveness of additional climate protection measures: costs would be 7 to nearly 36 billion euros if no additional measures are taken, 5 to 26 billion euros if only half of the necessary reductions are achieved, and 3 to 16 billion euros if three-quarters of the reductions are achieved.
