Essential is the successive development of energy standards for new and existing buildings undergoing extensive modernization. In addition, state support will focus on heating systems based on renewable energy. • A strategy for road transport will outline how greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced up to 2030, taking into account corresponding proposals at EU level. The strategy will include emissions from cars, light and heavy commercial vehicles and issues of energy supply free of greenhouse gases, the necessary infrastructure and the interconnection of sectors (through electromobility).
