Einstufung von Holzheizungen als CO2-neutral durch das Umweltbundesamt

Stage otherUpdated 4mo ago

This written question seeks clarification on why the German Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) classifies wood-burning heating systems as carbon-neutral. The procedure aims to examine the environmental validity of this classification and its impact on climate goals. This affects homeowners using biomass heating and policymakers managing emissions standards, potentially leading to changes in how wood combustion is accounted for in carbon budgets.
