The German government is increasing funding for renovations and imposing a ban on new gas boilers from 2024. By 2030, buildings may emit only 67 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent (MtCO2e) annually, down from 119 MtCO2e in 2020. Amongst the plans are a shift in focus from supporting new builds to supporting home renovations instead, a subsidy scheme to incentivise a switch to district heating and an increase in the training and upskilling of heat pump installers.
