6 Transforming the transport sector is crucial for the success of the clean energy transition.

7 In the past 25 years the Transport Sector in Germany could not contribute to CO 2 Emission Reductions. Relative Development of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for different Sectors since

8 Federal Climate Protection Plan 2050: The Verkehrswende is an official goal of the Government. For the first time ever the German transport sector has an own ambitious emission reduction target.

9 The Verkehrswende 2050 will be enabled by the Mobility Revolution and the Energy Transition in Transport. The Verkehrswende enables the German transport sector to be carbon neutral by The Mobility Revolution reduces the energy consumption of the German transport sector based on Avoid, Shift and Improve.

10 In cities, the mobility transition has already begun.

12 The Mobility Transition has already started in cities around the world The interlinked public transport is the backbone of urban transport. Private transport becomes more public, public transport becomes more private. Fewer cars leave more space for other land use. Walking and cycling comes with high benefits for the city at lowest costs. Picture: istock Sustainable urban transport policy receives more political support. 12

36 Basics for defining the Agora Scenarios All scenarios should meet the target of Climate Action Plan Efficiency & Emob (EU) Fiscal (National) Sz. A Sz. B Sz. C Sz. D Ambition level increasing increasing rel. low rel. low Fuels at 7 % Up to 32% = focus of scenario Scenario A-C: biofuels share and limit values are pre-defined, national measures are an addition to meet the (national) target Scenario D: limit values and national measures remain at a low level, biofuels share has to be increased to the point where a reduction of 40% is possible. 36

37 Measures in detail Scenario A Focus of Scen A are EU efficiency measures and electric mobility Very ambitious EU efficiency targets: cars: 60 g/km (WLTP) in 2025 und 30g/km (WLTP) in limiting Real world gap to 15% as of trucks: introduction limit values in 2020, then ~ 4,1% p.a. In addtion: complementary national measures to promote electric vehicles (more charging infrastructure, bonus-malus scheme) Supplementary fiscal instruments Energy taxes: taxing diesel and petrol fuel at the same level by Combined with reduced Kfz-Steuer for diesel. Increase in energy tax 2024 to 2028 about 10 cent in total (would result in km cost Diesel: +35%; Benzin: +22%) Extendeing HDV toll to all roads as of 2025 Company car tax: distance-dependent element Aditional national support measures: Cycling support with additional 600 Mio. Euro p.a. (7,50 Euro pro EW) Public transport support (ÖV) until % increase in supply 37

38 Results Scenario A: Technology mix for new cars Scen A focusses on very high efficiency and direct electrification and is influenced by aspirative OEM goals 2025 BEV: 19% NZL PHEV: 34% NZL 2030 BEV: 49% NZL (14% im Bestand) PHEV: 33% NZL (19% im Bestand) 38

39 Results Scen A: Energy demand Electricty demand of tranport quaduples to roughly 50 TWh in 2030 Total energy demand is reduced by 30% compared to

40 Results Scenario A: Greenhouse Gas Emissions up to 2030 Scen A reaches the German climate targets for transport by Reduction versus 1990 ca. 41% 40

41 Results Scen A: reduction potential of individual measures Estimate of GHG-reduction in Mio. t compared to

42 Measures in detail Scenario C - 1 Scenario C focusses mainly on (national) fiscal instruments Less ambitious EU efficiency standards: cars: no limit value 2025, for 2030 reduction of 20% compared to 2021 => 99 g CO2 (WLTP), no limit Real World Gap, real reductions therefor only about 10% trucks: introduction 2025, ~ 2,5% p.a. efficiency increase Main fiscal Instruments Energy tax: adjusting diesel and petrol tax Car toll: ca. 10 ct (4 ct. Infrastructure plus environmental cost) Truck toll: including external costs (ca. 17 ct/km) Company car tax: distance-based Speed limit 120 km/h on highways as of

43 Measures in detail Scenario C - 2 Scenario C focusses mainly on (national) fiscal instruments Freight Transport: Increased shift to Rail (23% of Modal Split in 2030) Further national Stimulant Measures: Cycling: 800 Mio. Euro p.a. (10 Euro per EW) Public Transport: 25% increase in supply Liveable Cities : Parking, Tempo 30, Carsharing etc. 43

44 Results Scenario C: Technology mix for new cars 2025 Batterie: 6% NZL Plug-In: 13% NZL 2030 Batterie: 8% NZL (4,6% im Bestand) Plug-In: 13% NZL (9% im Bestand) 44

45 Results Scenario C: Greenhouse Gas Emissions up to 2030 Gap to target of about 10 Mio. t Reduction versus 1990 ca. 34% 45

46 Results Szenario C: reduction potential of individual measures Estimate of GHG-reduction in Mio. t compared to

47 Measures in detail Scenario D Scenario D focusses mainly on climate protection via alternative fuels Low ambition level on efficiency and national measures affecting transport demand (i.e. like business as usual (BAU)) Reduction is achieved almost completely via power-to-x (PtX) fuels This means in 2030: in total 32% alternative fuels (7% biofuel and 25% PtX fuel) Fuel cost almost twice as high as in business as usual Higher production cost for decarbonised fuel is paid for by user 47

48 Additional electricity demand for transport until 2030 comparing scenarios A, C and D an energy conversion effficiency of 40% for the production of power-to-x fuel results in an additional energy demand of about 350 TWh (for Germany) in Scenario D ein It is practically impossible to imagine, that this energy demand until 2030 can be met with renewable energy in Germany 48

51 Draft Conclusions - 1 The ambitious climate protection targets from KSP for transport in Germany until 2030 can be achieved - in different ways. A complex combination of measures on different level (EU, Germany, Federal States, Municipalities and Companies) in needed, which indicates the strong need for coordination. Even with very ambitious EU CO2 regulation for LDV and early introduction of CO2 regulations for HDV additional (fiscal) measures are needed to fulfil the targets. 51

52 Draft Conclusions - 2 To reach the clmate protection targets of KSP ambitiouos European CO2 regulation (Well-To-Tank!) is needed already 2025, that the continuous increase of efficiency of electric vehicles impacts the vehicle stock significantly. If the design of the European CO2 regulation is not ambitious enough the targets of KSP can not be met neither with ambitious national fiscal instruments which could be acceptable. It is assumed that this would also be the case for many other European countries. Low ambition of European CO2 regulaton could lead to disintegration of the single market! The strategy to reach the climate targets primarily by (imported) low-carbon synthetic fuels (PtX) would be related to various risk! All ambitious climate protection strategies in the transport sector would need a significant extension of renewables in electricity through appropiate regulation. 52
