Ökogas ist keine erneuerbare Energie.
In theory, owners can still completely rely on a gas boiler from 2024. The condition: at least 65 percent must be heated with green gases, for example with biomethane or green hydrogen. However, the ministries point out that "in the medium to long term, high demand in other sectors is to be expected" and green gases could therefore become very expensive.
The company offers three different tariffs:
[*]Polarstern Wirklich Ökogas Klassik:
The biogas in the "Wirklich Ökogas Klassik" tariff comes entirely from biogenic residues (mainly municipal and industrial waste). Manure is not used. However, the waste materials may contain food waste of animal origin.
[*]Polarstern Wirklich Ökogas Vegan:
The "Vegan" tariff contains only biogas from plant sources.
[*]Polarstern Wirklich Ökogas Gebäudeenergiegesetz
is a tariff for property owners who have to comply with the criteria of the new Building Energy Act; the biogas comes from plant sources.
What we like about Polarstern Wirklich Ökogas:
[*]It is the only biogas provider known to us that refrains from offering tariffs with fossil gas also.
[*]All eco-gas tariffs have a TÜV-Nord seal.
[*]The company shows credible sustainability commitment beyond the gas offers.
The boiler can burn the "Ökogas" just the same. Similar to "green electricity", you get what is fed into your network level from your geographical vicinity. The whole thing is purely an accounting matter.Yes, but can an old gas boiler heat with such gases?
