Climate protection
NEWS: On 24.06.2021, the Bundestag passed the bill to amend the Federal Climate Protection Act. The Bundesrat approved the amendments in its plenary session on 25.06.2021. The law describes a binding path to climate neutrality by 2045 instead of 2050, setting binding targets for achieving this goal.
The amendment of the Climate Protection Act of 2019 had been imposed on the federal government by the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court at the end of April in order not to burden future generations with the increasing climate protection efforts.
The greatest savings must be achieved in the energy sector and industry, as these are the sectors with the lowest abatement costs and the highest emissions. It follows that renewable energy supply is the key to emission reductions in all sectors where renewable electricity can replace fossil fuels. In the other sectors with transport, buildings, agriculture and waste management, CO2 reductions are made in order to achieve the climate targets.
A new target for the conservation and expansion of so-called natural sinks such as forests and peatlands was also included in the law. Since the development of sinks requires a long lead time, the federal government is now beginning to intensify the waterlogging of peatlands and the necessary conversion and development of forests.
Through the new German climate target for 2030, the EU climate target for 2030 is also taken into account. Compliance with the permissible annual emission levels of the individual sectors will be regularly reviewed and set in 2024 for the years 2031 - 2034 and in 2034 for the years 2041 - 2045. Furthermore, it was regulated that from 2024 and then every two years, the climate protection report will also include the status and development of CO2 -pricing in the EU and compatibility with national CO2 -The climate protection law stipulates greenhouse gas neutrality in 2045. In 2045, the Climate Change Act stipulates greenhouse gas neutrality, after 2050 negative emissions (we take net greenhouse gases from the atmosphere).
The MuP Group is helping to achieve compliance with climate targets as part of "Engineering for a Better Tomorrow".
Through M&P GO.BLUE.NOW the limitation of global warming to 1.5° is being pursued together with customers and partners.
