Die Umsetzung der Novelle der EU-Industrieemissionen-Richtlinie (IED) steht vor der Tür: Am 01.07.2026 läuft die Frist zur nationalen Umsetzung ab. Im Januar 2026 hatte die Bundesregierung ihre Entwürfe eines Mantelgesetzes (BR-Drs. 44/26) sowie einer Mantelverordnung (BR-Drs. 36/26) zur nationalen Umsetzung der IED-Novelle veröffentlicht. Nun hat das Bundesministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz, nukleare Sicherheit und Verbraucherschutz (BMUKN) ein Q&A zur Umsetzung der Industrieemissions-Richtlinie vorgelegt. Das Q&A soll die Sicht der Bundesregierung und – bei Detailfragen – die Position des BMUKN erläutern und eine fachlich fundierte Grundlage für die weitere Beratung der Regierungsentwürfe im parlamentarischen Verfahren schaffen. Nachfolgend geben wir einen kurzen Überblick über die wesentlichen Positionen der Bundesregierung bzw. des BMUKN.
