EU Fit-for-55: Germany supports phase-out of combustion engines from 2035, but no stricter limits
Germany supports the European Commission's proposal to only allow zero-emission vehicles from 2035 onwards. Additionally, the federal government advocates extending the EU-wide emissions trading to the heating and transport sectors. This would mean additional CO2 charges on fuels. As announced by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, the EU ministers responsible for environmental and climate protection met in Brussels to discuss the "Fit-for-55" climate package. At the joint council meetings, the Federal Minister for the Environment and the Federal Minister for Climate Protection represent Germany together. State Secretary Sven Giegold participated on behalf of Federal Climate Protection Minister Robert Habeck in the EU Environment Council in Brussels.
Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke (Green Party) explained following the negotiations that the federal government stands behind the Commission's proposal for CO2 fleet limits with all its design elements. Initially, the Green Party Minister had pushed within the federal government for a 75% instead of 55% reduction, but was unable to prevail against the FDP and Federal Chancellor Scholz.
"Germany supports an end to the internal combustion engine for cars and light commercial vehicles in the EU from 2035. Combustion engines operated with e-fuels are only an option after 2035 outside the CO2 fleet limits."
Sven Giegold, State Secretary in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, adds:
“The current situation shows: We must free ourselves from Russian energy imports as quickly as possible. The Fit-for-55 package is crucial for our long-term energy sovereignty.”
The expansion of renewable energies and the reduction of energy consumption are now also a question of European security, resilience, and sovereignty. He regards the proposed new emissions trading for transport and heating as crucial from a German perspective. The revenue generated from emissions trading should be used by member states to make the energy transition more socially equitable.
To achieve the EU’s climate goals in the transport sector, the EU Commission is proposing more ambitious and thus stricter CO2 fleet limits for cars and light commercial vehicles in its Fit-for-55 package. The Federal Government supports the EU Commission's proposal with all its elements. This includes the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions from new cars by at least 55 percent compared to 2021 by 2030 and only allowing zero-emission cars— that is, cars without internal combustion engines—in the EU from 2035.
