Germany's CO2 emissions just fell to their lowest point in 7 decades, new data shows

Germany's carbon dioxide emissions dropped to their lowest level in seven decades due to a decline in coal use and economic pressures on energy-intensive industries.
Renewable energy made up more than half of Germany's energy production in 2023, with coal-fired electricity declining and nuclear power accounting for a small percentage. [ more ]

Germany's emissions hit 70-year low as it reduces reliance on coal

Germany's emissions hit a 70-year low in 2023, largely due to a decrease in coal power generation and a decline in production by energy-intensive industries.
Renewable energy sources accounted for more than 50% of Germany's electricity generation in 2023, bringing the country closer to its target of producing 80% of its electricity from wind and solar by 2030. [ more ]

Germany's CO2 emissions are at their lowest in 7 decades, study shows

Germany's carbon dioxide emissions dropped to their lowest level in seven decades as coal use declined and economic pressures weighed down energy-intensive industries.
Renewable energy sources accounted for more than half of Germany's energy production in 2023, while coal-fired electricity production dropped to its lowest level since the 1960s.
The reduction in emissions was also attributed to a drop in electricity demand, increased imports from neighboring countries, and decreased production by energy-intensive companies due to economic weakness. [ more ]

Germany 2023 emissions lowest in 70 years: study DW 01/04/2024

Germany emitted its lowest amount of carbon dioxide in 70 years, with a decrease of 73 million tons from 2022.
The decline in emissions was driven by an increase in renewable energy production, a drop in coal-fired electricity, and scaled-down production by energy-intensive manufacturers. [ more ]
