Apply for the GHG-quota and receive an e-premium

The Federal Environment Agency of Germany and Austria certifies the CO₂ reduction through e-mobility in the form of a certificate. This is available to both private and commercial owners of a purely electrically powered vehicle (BEV) with a German or Austrian registration certificate. The CO₂ certificate can subsequently be sold to a mineral oil company, which in turn takes the savings into account for the payment. You are thus supporting the decarbonisation of the transport sector. An opt-out is not entirely possible, as the federal government reserves the right to sell the certificates itself if not enough e-mobilists take advantage of the mechanism.

No, you can have the proceeds from the GHG-quota paid out annually. If you receive your GHG-quota through us, we will remind you to upload the vehicle registration document next year.

In 2023, we can earn 300€ per registered electric car for you in Germany (prerequisite is the completed application in the neoom APP in the GREEN skill as of the launch up until the latest by 13.2.2024 ). In Austria, we offer a price of 400€ per car for the year 2023

These statutory compulsory levies by the mineral oil industry are due every year. The prices that oil companies pay per certificate depend on supply and demand and therefore fluctuate.

At neoom, we believe that the effectiveness of the GHG-quota as a management tool will only be fully realised if the proceeds are also invested in the reduction of greenhouse gases. In order to ensure that you are not at the beginning of your carbon footprint again by selling your GHG-quota and driving a car with a combustion engine on the balance sheet, we offer the possibility to invest as much of your premium as you want in climate protection projects. In this way, you use the money of the mineral oil companies and create real change. With your impact contribution, CO₂ is extracted from the atmosphere in the most modern way and you support projects that avoid future CO₂ emissions. Take the chance to double the carbon impact.

The GHG quota may only be claimed once per e-car and year. Since this is a lump sum payment in Germany, you may of course keep the amount paid out, even if you sell your e-car. However, if you subsequently buy a car with a combustion engine instead of a new e-car, you can no longer have the GHG quota paid out.

In Austria, an aliquot payment is made based on the registration date of the vehicle, i.e. if you sell your car and are registered as the vehicle owner from 04 March 2023, you are entitled to the aliquot ePremium 2023 until 03 March 2023.

No. Since this is a flat-rate value per e-car, you do not have to document anything additional.

If you are registered as the owner in the vehicle registration certificate, it is possible. Companies can also register the e-cars in their fleet.

No, it is sufficient if you are the registered vehicle owner in the vehicle registration certificate. In Austria, it will also be possible to receive the ePremium by recording the amount of electricity charged in your vehicle. For this, you must be able to document the charging amount in a comprehensible way. A charging station that enables traceable documentation is necessary in this case. We do not currently offer this option with neoom GREEN because the requirements of the Austrian Federal Environment Agency for this method of processing have not yet been finally defined. As soon as the requirements are clarified, we will also offer this option.

In Germany, a nationwide publication was issued by the Rhineland-Palatinate State Tax Office on 10.05.2022. According to this publication, the GHG quota of privately owned vehicles does not have to be taxed. The generally applicable tax regulations are applied to the GHG quota of business vehicles. neoom is not authorised to provide tax advice. Therefore, please consult your tax advisor regarding your business vehicles.
