Germany faces potential climate debt crisis
The German government intends to repeal the Heating Law, which requires the installation of heating systems relying on renewable sources at a minimum of 65%. Currently, it allows for the installation of oil and gas systems at lower percentages for existing buildings. The new law, known as the "Building Modernization Law," aims to replace the previous regulations before the summer holidays. However, it faces criticism from an independent oversight agency and opponents from the energy industries, who believe that these changes could negatively impact efforts to transition toward climate neutrality. Experts consider that the crisis in the Middle East and the rising demand for renewable energies support the continued transformation of the heating market, despite the recent adjustments.
