 Germany has made a commitment to reduce particulate matter emissions. The revised Gothenburg Protocol and the revised NEC Directive both define emission reduction targets relative to a 2005 base year, mandating 26% (2020) and 43% (2030) reductions respectively. Germany has made a commitment to reduce particulate matter emissions.

-T**otal PM₂.₅ emissions** dropped by 55.3% between 1995 and 2019. The Main Drivers for PM₂.₅ emissions are **Fuel Combustion (NFR 1.A)** with 72.5% of total 1995 emissions and a 63% reduction between 1995-2019 and as a sum the **Industrial Processes (NFR 2)** with about 21% of total 1995 emissions and a 41% reduction between 1995-2018. 
  
-Within both National totals and NFR 1.A, **Transport (NFR 1.A.3)** is responsible for the biggest part of PM₂.₅ emissions. Here, about 77% of 2019 PM2.5 emissions are induced by **Road Transport (NFR 1.A.3.b)**, caused by two third directly by fuel consumption **(NFR 1.A.3.b.i - v)** and the other third by road abrasion and tyre and brake wear **(NFR 1.A.3.b.vi - vii)**.+Between 1995 and 2023, **Total PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions declined by 60.8%**.
