The Federal Minister of Economics, the Federal Minister of Building and the Federal Minister of Justice in Germany agreed on a fair sharing of the CO2 costs between landlords and tenants for both residential and non-residential buildings. Since 2021, a price has been charged for carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Germany. A price of 30 euros per tonne of CO2 emitted when heating and fuel is burned currently applies. It will gradually increase to up to 55 euros in 2025.
In the building sector, the CO2 price is intended to motivate landlords to promote energy-efficient renovation of their buildings and tenants to use energy sparingly. Landlords can currently pass the additional costs for the CO2 price on to their tenants in full. As a result, the CO2 price has not yet had the desired steering effect on climate policy. The federal government now wants to remedy this with the new allocation according to a tiered model for residential buildings.
