Earn Money Driving Electric: Germany Launches CO2 Certificate Scheme
Electric vehicle (EV) owners in Germany can now profit from their eco-friendly choice by selling CO2 certificates, known as the THG quota. This innovative system, designed to reduce emissions in the transport sector, allows private individuals to earn income while promoting sustainability.
The THG quota, a legally prescribed instrument, enables companies subject to greenhouse gas reduction obligations, primarily mineral oil companies, to purchase CO2 certificates from individual EV owners. These certificates, often bought in bulk by intermediaries, are a reward for the CO2 emissions saved by driving battery electric vehicles, electric motorcycles, or electric trucks.
Selling the CO2 quota involves several steps. It's crucial to choose reputable providers, compare payout models, and keep track of deadlines. The process also includes certification, platform choice, marketing, and payment. Individual EV owners can sell their THG quota once a year, with serious offers ranging between 80 and 125 euros per year in August 2025.
The THG allowance is a significant incentive for individual EV owners to switch to low-emission drives. By selling their CO2 certificates, individual EV owners not only generate income but also put pressure on fuel providers to reduce fossil CO2 emissions. With the legal basis applying until at least 2030, this system is set to promote sustainability in the transport sector for years to come.
