German goals to cut greenhouse emissions by 65% by 2030 are likely to be missed, meaning a longer-term net zero by a 2045 target is also in doubt, reports by government climate advisers and the Federal Environment Agency (UBA) show.

    Germany still has a very long way to go to be carbon neutral.

    Almost 79% of its primary energy consumption is fossil fuel. 17% is renewable.

    For comparison in France 46% of the primary energy consumption is fossil fuel, 14% renewable and 40% nuclear.

      Look at the industry’s growth in France though. Renewables has been growing at the expense of nuclear. This is happening in Germany as well.
