German heating law reform faces criticism over green gas claims

Germany's Merz government's proposed heating law reform faces strong criticism, with experts calling it a "green gas lie" and a "disaster." The new draft replaces the previous government's stricter regulations, aiming for climate goals through green gas quotas and bio-fuel blending rather than mandating specific technologies. Experts argue this approach is insufficient and will lead to higher costs. The proposed law is criticized for lacking planning security and potentially hindering Germany's transition to future technologies, with some experts even predicting it could face constitutional challenges.
