The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) has commissioned CE Delft to assess the effects of two policy changes on greenhouse gas emissions. These concern:
Under the Green Projects Scheme, investors receive a tax advantage if they save through green deposits or funds. Businesses and private individuals can apply for a green certificate for projects that deliver environmental benefits beyond statutory requirements. This enables them to qualify for an interest rate reduction through green loans. Under the MIA\Vamil scheme, businesses benefit from a tax advantage when investing in environmentally friendly technologies.
Reversing the proposed cutbacks could result in a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (400 to 1,000 kilotonnes) and thus contribute to the government’s target of achieving a 55% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030. Reversal would mean restoring the MIA\Vamil budget to its original level and not abolishing the Green Projects Scheme in 2027. This implies a budget of € 81 million (RGP) and approximately € 50 million per year (MIA\Vamil) to maintain these fiscal incentives.
