A number of associations are calling for a postponement of the trading phase of the national CO2 price, which is scheduled before the transfer of German emissions trading to European emissions trading. To date, the German Fuel Emissions Trading Act (BEHG) has provided for a fixed price. However, a trading phase with a market-dependent price is planned for next year. From 2027, the BEHG will be transferred to the new European Emissions Trading System for the transport and heating sector (ETS 2).
