2022: Germany's greenhouse gas emissions fell 10.1%, partly due to renewable energy growth and coal/gas reduction.
Germany's greenhouse gas emissions dropped by 10.1% in 2022, with official data showing a 673 million-ton reduction compared to the previous year. The decline is attributed to the growth in renewable energy sources, diminished use of coal and gas, and economic pressures. However, Germany's environmental protection agency warns that progress in cutting emissions is not satisfactory in all sectors and highlights the need for further improvements in the transport sector. Germany is on track to meet its 2030 climate targets and aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2045.
