Around 100 euros in climate money for every citizen: Is it coming sooner than expected?. The carbon dioxide tax makes climate-damaging energy sources more expensive.
It applies to heating oil, natural gas, petrol and diesel. Parts of the income should now be paid back to the citizens through climate money. According to the Ministry of Finance, the climate money could be paid out at the beginning of 2025. If there is no agreement within the coalition by the time the payment is made, the FDP wants to make climate money an election campaign issue.
