Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Germany鈥檚 transport sector in line with the country鈥檚 climate targets by 40 percent by 2030 might take up to 250 billion euros over the next decade, Daniel Delhaes writes in the . A study commissioned by the Federation of German Industries (BDI) has found that investments for charging stations and buyer鈥檚 premiums for electric cars as well as the development of more efficient engines and alternative fuels all come with considerable costs for German consumers. The emissions reduction target therefore 鈥渕ight lay beyond what consumers are willing to pay,鈥� BDI鈥檚 deputy managing director Holger L枚sch said. According to the study conducted by consultancy BCG, especially the short time frame until 2030 will boost the price of a transition in the transport sector. 鈥淚t should not be taboo to ask whether it can be done in the time allotted,鈥� L枚sch argued, adding that costs could be reduced significantly by postponing the target date by five years. According to the industry lobby group, the 250 billion euros calculated in the study come on top of investments of up to 2.3 trillion euros Germany will have to make by mid-century to fully comply with the climate targets outlined in the Paris Agreement, as another and widely recognised 2018 study by the BDI found.
The costs of Germany鈥檚 energy transition and emissions reduction efforts are a controversial topic and the exact price tag of many measures often remains elusive. The German government last year stated costs associated with the country鈥檚 Energiewende are 鈥渦nknown鈥� to it and cannot be calculated merely by adding up the costs of individual assets, as some costs would also arise without a shift towards a decarbonised energy system.
