Germany's 2024 electricity generation achieved its cleanest profile ever, with renewable energy constituting 62.7%. A significant shift driven by increased green energy usage and reduced coal reliance.
Environmental economist Andreas Loschel highlights that Germany has halved its emissions from electricity generation since 2014, supported by political unity for the energy transition across parties over three decades.
As Germany heads into snap elections, the rise of the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party poses a challenge to ongoing decarbonization efforts, advocating against carbon neutrality by 2050.
Despite progress, Germany's greenhouse gas emission reductions stagnated in the past year, with a slower decline of 3% compared to a more significant 10% drop in 2023.
