GHG Quota Calculator (DE)
Select a technology, enter values and calculate the GHG result directly.
Based on the selected compliance year, the applicable GHG quota obligations and the corresponding multipliers are automatically taken into account.

Public charging points (Sec. 6) and vehicle estimates (Sec. 7) are separate crediting routes. Avoid duplicate reporting; check evidence and eligibility.
2027: officially published grid electricity factor 113 kg CO₂eq/GJ (BAnz AT 02.11.2026 B6). From 2028, values are provisional and editable for scenarios until official publication.
Lower emission factors may only be applied if the legal conditions for direct electricity supply and metering under Section 5 of the 38th BImSchV are met and documented. A green electricity tariff or guarantees of origin alone are not sufficient. In particular, verify the direct supply arrangement and time-resolved metering.
Section 5, 38th BImSchVMeeting the 70% GHG saving threshold mathematically does not by itself establish eligibility. Applicable RFNBO sustainability, electricity sourcing, GHG accounting, certification and registry/documentary requirements must also be met. Refinery use as an intermediate product requires separate checks of eligibility, allocation and documentation. The result is an indicative calculation only.
Section 3, 37th BImSchVNegative RFNBO emission values may be entered if supported by a recognized full GHG lifecycle assessment and the required RFNBO evidence. Entering a negative value does not establish eligibility.
The 28.2 kg CO₂eq/GJ emissions threshold is only a numerical minimum requirement. Meeting it does not confirm RFNBO certification or eligibility. Required evidence and regulatory conditions must be verified separately.
Calculation is non-binding and provided without warranty. Certification, documentation, and regulatory requirements are decisive. Subject to regulatory changes.

Show calculation basis
Bio-CNG: Energy_GJ = kWh / 1.1 / 1,000 × 3.6
RFNBO: Energy_GJ = kg H₂ × 0.1200
Power: Energy_GJ = MWh × 3.6
Special rule for heavy vehicles: N3 and M3 are credited with a separate multiplier under Sec. 7(6) of the 38th BImSchV
Charging point electricity is entered separately in MWh/year and credited with the regular power multiplier
Vehicle electricity estimates under Sec. 7(3) of the 38th BImSchV (kWh per vehicle/year):
Until 2026: M1 2,000 · N1 3,000 · N2 20,600 · N3 33,400 · M3 72,000.
From 2027 (BAnz AT 28.10.2026 B4): M1 2,000 · M2 5,700 · N1 4,300 · N2 20,600 · N3 54,800 · M3 72,000 · other vehicle classes 500.
Vehicle electricity (MWh) = sum of vehicle counts × year-specific estimated kWh / 1,000.
Combined input: total electricity (MWh) = vehicle electricity + separately measured charging point electricity.
Creditable GHG savings (t CO₂eq) = net savings for M1/M2/N1/N2/other and charging points × regular power multiplier + net savings for N3/M3 × special multiplier under Sec. 7(6).
Regular power multiplier: 2026–2034 3.0; 2035 2.0; from 2036 1.0.
Special N3/M3 multiplier: until 2026 3.0; 2027–2034 4.0; 2035 3.5; 2036 3.0; 2037 2.5; 2038 2.0; 2039 1.5; from 2040 1.0.
Note: The same electricity quantity must not be counted both as a vehicle estimate and as metered charging point electricity.
Actual emissions = Energy_GJ × effective emission factor
Bio-LNG/Bio-CNG: effective emission factor = input value
RFNBO: effective emission factor = input value × 0.4 for road transport or input value × 1 for refinery
Power: effective emission factor = input value × 0.4
Net GHG = Energy_GJ × (fossil reference value × (1 - GHG quota) - effective emission factor) / 1,000
Tradable GHG quota = net GHG × Multiplier
GHG quota value (€) = Tradable GHG quota × GHG quota price
Status of calculation parameters
Statutory parameters: GHG quota schedule, fossil reference value and crediting/special multipliers; the applicable legislation always prevails.
Published officially each year: Emission factors for grid electricity and directly supplied solar/wind electricity under Section 5 of the 38th BImSchV. Official 2027 values were published in BAnz AT 02.11.2026 B6; values carried forward to 2028 and later are not official confirmation for those years.
Non-binding modelling assumptions: Carried-forward electricity emission factors for years without a recorded official publication, user-adjusted emission factors, quantities and market prices. Actual eligibility depends on evidence and legal requirements.
