Germany's emissions have hit a 70-year low at 673 million tonnes in 2023, largely due to a decrease in coal power generation and an increase in renewable energy sources.
For a country that people shat on a lot for closing their nuclear plants Germany is on the right track reducing their C02.
I remembered vividly when some people predicting soaring high coal electricity generation would occur in Germany for 2023 back in April. Of course, those who had been studying the actual Energiewende for a while knew that would never be the case.
Interestingly, most of Germany import in 2023 was also from renewables. One could say that German coal has been beatened by growing renewables both at home and abroad.
