Abstract: In recent years, CO2 emissions from building fires and traffic have been the focus of political debate: from 2035, combustion vehicles are to be banned, heating systems are to be operated with at least 65% renewable energy sources . Certificate trading is being extended to buildings and transport, a speed limit on motorways is considered necessary for climate policy, vehicle tax could take greater account of CO2 emissions, and the company car privilege should be dropped. The most important criterion for evaluating these measures is static efficiency, i.e. the most cost-effective avoidance of the targeted emission reduction. Against this background, a comprehensive certificate trading system should be created, which, in terms of its quantity restriction, is strictly aligned with the climate policy goals of the Paris Agreement. The EU and Germany are on the right track here. However, the administrative and other pricing mechanisms are then obsolete.
