The German public is very much in favorof climate protection…

The German energy transition: New dynamics, but old barriers
- Favorable public opinion
- Government wants to reach 65 % RE sharein electricity sector by 2030
- „Coal compromise“ of February 2019: coalphase out by 2038
- Draft of the Climate Protection Act: 95 % GHG reduction in all relevant sectors by 2050
- Measures taken almost exclusively in theelectricity sector
- Government very reluctant to introduce„unpopular“ measures
- Very restrictive, incoherent biomass policy

• Existing biomass plants may participate in the national tender, yet the governmenthas not yet decided on a grow path for the auctions after 2022
… and we are lacking a mid-to longtermperspective

CHP sector
• Main instrument for development is the Renewable Energy Sources Act
Heat market
• Heating applications are hardly supported (obligation to use in CHP due to higher CO2-reduction)
Fuel sector
• Stagnating CNG vehicles sales
• National biomethanequota far belowRED II level
International Trade
• Prohibitive national legislations
• Lack of EU-wide mass balance system
17
• 3.2 million t CO2 reduced
• approx. 200 Biomethane plants provide
• 1.7% of renewable electricity,
• 2.7% of renewable heat,
• 1.1% of renewable vehicle fuel consumed in Germany

• The German government is very incoherent in its current energy and climate policies:• Ambitious targets, which can be reached only with bioenergy
• Yet very restrictive policies, especially for biomass
• The Biogas sector suffers greatly from this lack of perspective and plannability
• Stabilization and optimization of the exisiting plants is our current focus
• While we have achieved options for existing plants in the Renewable Energy SourcesAct, many conditions need yet be improved in order to actually work
• In the long run, the Renewable Energy Sources Act will not be the ideal means ofincentivation for biogas
• Biogas has many advantages, which will have to be incentivized individually
