The German government has reached an agreement in the dispute over the Building Energy Act (GEG) The aim is to move away from oil and gas heating systems and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. By 2025, the government wants to reduce particulate matter emissions to 16,000 tonnes.
Old wood-burning stoves must therefore be replaced or retrofitted. Fireplaces that cause high pollutant emissions may even have to be shut down soon according to a regulation. If you own a stove, you should now take a look at the age of the system.
