Service that pays off:
The fixed GHG premium from Westfalen.

200 € bonus for the GHG quota of your e-car.

In order to be able to achieve the goals of the Paris climate protection agreement, the emission of transport-related greenhouse gases must be reduced quickly and massively. Electric cars play a major role in this. With the greenhouse gas reduction quota, the German government has therefore created another climate protection instrument, making the switch to electric mobility even more attractive. Take advantage of this opportunity for you as an owner of an electric vehicle!

General terms and conditions.

What is the GHG quota?

Fossil fuels, such as petrol and diesel, still cause the most greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, the legislator obliges companies that manufacture or distribute such products to reduce the environmentally harmful CO2 emissions by a fixed percentage (= greenhouse gas reduction quota).

To meet the GHG quota, oil companies can either put more alternative fuels on the market or blend them with fossil fuels. If the legally prescribed reduction target cannot be achieved in this way, it is also possible to buy unused reduction quotas from others. In this case, we speak of GHG quota trading

GHG quota trading: This is how easy it is for owners of e-vehicles to profit.

Do you operate an electric fleet or own a fully electric e-car privately? Then, according to the 38. Federal Immission Control Ordinance (38. Bundesimmissionsschutzverordnung), you are entitled to transfer the GHG quota of your e-carto a company subject to the quota and collect an annually recurring GHG bonus in return. A photo or scan of the vehicle registration document serves as proof.

How much can e-car drivers earn?

The GHG quota for 2023 is 8 percent. It will be gradually increased to 25 per cent by 2030. The calculation is based on an estimated value, which is determined annually by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection. Since the emission savings vary per vehicle type, the reduction rate also varies depending on the vehicle type. In contrast, the origin and quantity of the electricity used and the mileage do not play a role.

Sell GHG quota directly or via intermediaries?

GHG certificates are marketed exclusively via GHG quota traders. Supply and demand determine the price. If the price is low, your GHG bonus will also be significantly lower. You can avoid the risk of fluctuating market prices by choosing an intermediary that pays fixed premiums.
