What is the GHG quota?
The greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota) is an instrument of the German government to reduce CO₂ emissions in the transport sector. Oil companies are obliged to reduce their CO₂ emissions. If they do not achieve this sufficiently, they can purchase GHG quotas from zero-emission vehicles. People with electric cars can sell their quota and receive an annual bonus.
How does the GHG quota work?
Applying for the bonus is uncomplicated and involves very little effort. The procedure is as follows:
- Registration: Registration with a provider who organizes the GHG quota trade. We have a partner, WirKaufenDeineTHG.de.
- Vehicle registration document: Upload two photos of your vehicle registration document, front and back, as proof of your electric vehicle.
- Sale: The provider bundles several quotas and sells them to companies.
- Payment: The bonus will be transferred directly to your account.
How high is the bonus?
The amount of the bonus depends on the current market value of the GHG quotas. In recent years, the payout has fluctuated between €70 and €400 per year. Prices vary depending on demand and regulatory developments. For the year 2025 our partner can guarantee you 70€, it can also be higher, but guaranteed not less than 70€.
