The German federal government has approved a draft law maintaining the use of food-based biofuels at current levels, while ending double counting for certain advanced biofuels and excluding palm oil from climate compliance instruments as of 2027. The legislation also introduces a binding trajectory for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions across transport, electricity, and heating under the amended GHG quota Act.
