Verteilungswirkungen des nationalen Emissionshandels auf private Haushalte

Summary

Germany's national emissions trading scheme (nEHS) for heating and transport disproportionately burdens low-income households due to its regressive CO2 pricing effect. This study analyzes the distributional impacts and evaluates relief measures, including a CO2 cost allocation law for landlords, heating cost subsidies for basic income recipients, and CO2 and climate components in housing benefits. These measures largely compensate for the regressive effects, aiming to ensure a more equitable transition to climate neutrality.
