Tips to cut CO₂

  • Optimize heating

    Lowering the room temperature by 1°C saves about 6% of heating energy. Hydraulic balancing can save up to 15%.

  • Save fuel

    Anticipatory driving can save 10-20% fuel. Check tire pressure and remove roof boxes.

  • Use alternatives

    Bicycles, public transport or carpooling for shorter distances reduce CO2 and costs.

Calculation: emissions (t) × CO₂ price (€55 per tonne)

  • The CO2 price in 2026 is EUR 55/tonne (price corridor EUR 55-65)
  • The costs are passed on to heating oil, natural gas and fuels
  • From 2027, national trading will be transitioned into EU ETS 2
