- The share of German houses built with gas heating dropped by nine percentage points in the first half of this year, although Russia’s war on Ukraine did not accelerate the downwards trend.
- Just over 16% of building permits issued during the first six months of 2022 were for houses that use gas as their primary energy source for heating.
- This is compared to more than a quarter during the same period in 2021 and almost 40% in 2019, meaning the share of gas heating more than halved within two years.
