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.
