Updated climate tracking and digital tagging of the Recovery and Resilience Plan of 
Germany 

The  table  below  presents  the  detailed  application  of  the  climate  tracking  and  digital  tagging 
methodologies  set  out  respectively  in  Annex  VI  and  VII  to  Regulation  (EU)  2021/241  in  the 
modified German recovery and resilience plan. 

Int. Field = intervention field. 

Coeff. = Coefficient for the calculation of support to climate change objectives and to digital transition, 
on the basis of Annex VI and Annex VII of the RRF Regulation. 

New or revised measures are highlighted to distinguish them from the unchanged measures in the RRP

* Budget figures are rounded to hundred thousands. The table shows the cost of the measures without VAT. For most measures 
this equals the cost included in the recovery and resilience plan. However, for measures marked with an asterisk (*), Germany 
indicated when submitting the recovery and resilience plan in April 2021 that their cost may include VAT, and in this table the cost 
is shown while taking away the full amount of potential VAT for these measures (assuming that the maximum VAT rate of 19% 
fully applies).

** The ‘Methodology for climate tracking’ annexed to the Recovery and Resilience Facility Regulation does not set out intervention 
fields that would allow for climate or environmental tracking of electric vehicles or plug-in hybrid vehicles, except for vehicles for 
urban  transport  falling  under  intervention  field  074.  According  to  Article  18(4)(e)  of  the  Regulation,  the  methodology  should 
however ‘be used accordingly for measures that cannot be directly assigned to an intervention field listed in Annex VI’. In this 
context,  the  Commission has  applied  a  100%  climate  contribution  coefficient  for  zero-emission  vehicles  of  all  categories  (this 
includes battery electric and fuel cell/hydrogen-powered vehicles); a 40% climate contribution coefficient for plug-in hybrid light-
duty vehicles; and, in line with the criteria under the Taxonomy Regulation, a 100% climate coefficient for low-emission heavy-
duty vehicles. 
*** While the estimated cost of Germany’s recovery and resilience plan exceeds the total allocation of non-repayable financial 
support to Germany, Germany will ensure that all spending related to the measures mentioned in this table as contributing to climate 
objectives are fully financed by the funds from the Recovery and Resilience Facility. 
**** Reforms and investments in the REPowerEU chapter are not taken into account when calculating the plan’s contribution to 
the digital target requirement set by Regulation (EU) 2021/241.
