Climate Protection is becoming increasingly important for companies, partly because of new laws. The GoGaS Goch GmbH & Co.KG supports enterprises, that try to optimize or develop real estate regarding CO2-emissions. “The new legal situation regarding climate protection means increasing costs for companies “, GoGaS states. According to the company the recently introduced CO2 pricing from 2021, will result in more expensive energy consumption of vehicles and real estate to a not insignificant and constantly increasing extent. The pricing is a consequence of the Climate Protection Act, which came into force five months ago, and will be set by trading pollution certificates for buildings and transport.
GoGaS explains: “The IHK provides a CO2 price calculator for companies on its website, which you can use to calculate changes in costs for your company. We gladly refer to the corresponding link of the IHK here.“
This started in January 2021 at 25 euros per metric ton of CO2. According to GoGaS this corresponds to a gross increase of seven cents per liter of gasoline, eight cents per liter of diesel, eight cents per liter of heating oil and 0.5 cents per kilowatt hour of natural gas. In 2022, the CO2 price is to be 30 euros, one year later 35 euros, in 2024 again 45 euros and finally in 2025 55 euros. From 2026 onwards, the certificate price is to be determined by auctioning. A price corridor of 55 euros to 65 euros per ton of CO2 has been set for 2026.
GoGaS is a specialist in the CO2-neutral operation of real estate and outlines measures to optimize existing properties in terms of CO2 consumption and ways to plan and equip new buildings to be CO2-neutral from the outset. There are a number of ways to operate a property in a CO2-neutral manner. In addition to replacement planting, certificate trading is currently a frequently practiced solution.
However, there is also the possibility of retrofitting a property in such a way that its operation becomes CO2-neutral. For this purpose, GoGaS offers a “consistent and modular portfolio“ for both existing and new properties, which should provide its customers with all the various stakeholders with the opportunity to achieve this goal on a permanent basis. “At the same time, GoGaS contributes to securing the investments of its customers sustainably and in the long term, thus uniting the goals of sustainability and profitability “, the company emphasizes. According to GoGaS this will become more and more interesting from 2021 onwards, because the costs will rise steadily from then on. Click here to get more information on the CO2 price calculator.
