Part of situation: Germany fossil fuel phase-out roadmap (3 clusters)

Germany pledges explicit fossil fuel phaseout by 2045

fossil fuel phaseout energy transition renewable energy targets climate roadmap German energy policy

Germany has formally committed to an explicit phaseout of fossil fuels by 2045, marking a significant shift from previous pledges that focused solely on achieving carbon neutrality. The new climate roadmap, presented by Environment Minister Carsten Schneider, outlines a strategy to move beyond oil, gas, and coal.

Key targets for 2030 include increasing the share of renewable energy in electricity generation from 55% to 80%. To achieve this, the government aims to reach 215 GW of solar capacity and add 12 GW of onshore wind power. Additionally, Germany plans to reduce methane emissions by 30% by 2030, aligning with global commitments.

The roadmap reaffirms the existing timeline for coal phaseout by 2038, though it leaves the possibility of accelerating this to 2035. While climate activists have noted the importance of the explicit exit from fossil fuels, some, such as Andreas Sieber of 350.org, have criticized the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy for continuing to push for expanded gas usage, which they argue undermines the transition.
