Schneider remains hard: Future without fossil heating and burners!

Schneider remains hard: Future without fossil heating and burners!

Berlin, Deutschland - Today, Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider (SPD) confirmed the clear course of the federal government in the direction of sustainable energy future. The consistent exit from fossil heating is planned, such as [osna-live.de] (https://osna-live.de/174606/schneider-leider-keine--rueckehr- zu-fossilen-heizungen-und-der-berrener-ist-geschichte/). "We do not take a step back on the previous regulation," emphasized Schneider. Rather, the switch to clean heating technologies is not only important, but also urgently necessary to shape an environmentally friendly future.

The discussion about the fossil phase -out is actively accompanied by the German Environmental Aid (DUH). Your federal manager Barbara Metz sees the planned legal requirements for oil and gas heating as essential. In the draft law, a clear predictability for consumers, heating industry and craft is created, which should lead to climate -friendly heat supply, such as [duh.de] (https://www.duh.de/presse/pressemitteilungen/pressemitteigteilung/deutsche-umwelthilfe-praesenti-faktencheck-zur discussion-plante-heizungs-und-und-begegruesst/). These measures are not only necessary in terms of environmental policy, they also contribute to relief when heating in times of fluctuating gas prices.

the farewell to combustion engines

Schneider also emphasized the decision that according to EU requirements from 2035, no new internal combustion engines will be approved. This is a signal that the German automotive industry asks for action because the industry lags behind in recent years. "The developers have overslept the signs of time," Schneider criticized. In the next ten years, German industry will have to make a deficit to remain competitive.

The Federal Government's comprehensive climate program becomes visible if you look at the current developments. According to the [bundes-regierung.de] (https://www.bundes- Region.de/breg-de/schwerpunkt/klimaschutz-energie-2304638), the amount of greenhouse gases in Germany sank by over 10 %in 2023, which has been the greatest decline for more than three decades. The government's ambitions to achieve greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045 are also evident in their commitment to the expansion of renewable energies.

climate -friendly heat supply for all

A central point in the discussion is the social suspension for people who can afford to switch to climate -friendly heating. This is considered necessary by Schneider to ensure just and sustainable heat supply. The efforts of the Federal Government to support the efforts of the federal government to support consumers in this way prove the already approved grants for the heating exchange of 1.3 billion euros. Specifically, around 93,000 commitments for grants have been granted since February 2024.

Germany is on a way to a greener future that has its challenges but also offers great opportunities. The combination of political measures, technological innovations and social awareness can be the key to a more environmentally friendly and sustainable life.
