With its climate protection measures to date, Germany is missing its target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65% by 2030 compared to 1990. Instead, the country has only achieved a reduction of 63 percent. This means that Germany has a discrepancy of 331 million tons of greenhouse gases compared to the Federal Climate Protection Act. However, there is an opportunity to reduce this figure to 194 million tons through additional measures. These are the findings of the 2023 projection report prepared by the \u00d6ko-Institut and other research partners on behalf of the Federal Environment Agency.<\/p>\n
The projection report also reveals that Germany will not meet its target of greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045. Even with planned measures that have not yet been implemented, 157 million tons of greenhouse gases will remain in the atmosphere. \u00d6ko-Institut expert Ralph O. Harthan sees improvements compared to 2021, but says: \"The German government must take further steps to close the gap to net zero in climate-damaging greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.\"<\/p>\n
The report also shows that different sectors contribute variably to reducing emissions. The energy sector makes the main contribution, followed by industry, transport and buildings. In the building sector, newly installed heating systems with 65 percent renewable energies - in the form of heat pumps, district heating and biomass - are an important lever as climate protection measures.
