10/01/2025 (Agence Europe) – The fall in German greenhouse gas emissions slowed in 2024 (18 million tonnes, a fall of 3%) compared with the 10% drop recorded in 2023, according to a study by the Agora Energiewende expert group published on Tuesday 7 January. It states that “there was no structural progress in the demand sectors industry, buildings and transport”. Investment in green technologies fell compared to 2023, and German industry saw a slight increase in emissions (2%) despite the poor economic climate. Nevertheless, total emissions were 48% lower than in the 1990 baseline year, coming close to the EU’s target of a 55% reduction by 2030, and renewable energy sources rose in one year from 56% to 59% of total electricity production.
