German emissions could rise by 30 million tons due to a resurgence in coal power
This year, Germany’s greenhouse gas emissions have seen a significant spike as a direct result of the decision made by the country’s government to maintain the operation of coal-fired power plants rather than replace them with gas-fired facilities in response to the present supply issue. Estimates suggested that Germany’s emissions may have climbed by 10 million tonnes in the first half of the year, which would be in line with the assumption.
Even though the sun and the wind will collectively contribute substantially more power than they did in 2021, it is anticipated that we will still end up producing an additional 20 to 30 million tonnes of emissions over the course of the entire year. According to the German environment agency UBA, Germany produced 760 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions last year.
