Germany's Climate Goals: Urgent Need for Acceleration

A recent study by the Bertelsmann Foundation highlights that Germany is lagging behind in its efforts to transition to clean energy, transport, and heating compared to other European countries. Denmark and Norway are making significant strides, suggesting that full decarbonization by mid-century is achievable.

In contrast, Germany and the UK are not on track to complete their transition to renewable electricity, heat, and transport in time. The study, conducted with the Potsdam Institute for Sustainability, underscores the need for better coordination of political goals, regulations, and infrastructure changes.

Germany's progress is hindered by inadequate power grid expansion and slow adoption of electric vehicles due to high costs and insufficient charging infrastructure. To meet its climate goals, Germany must accelerate its exit from gas and oil heating and double the annual installation of heat pumps.

Enhanced policies, state subsidies, and public awareness are essential to drive these changes and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.

Study: Germany is missing its climate neutrality target for 2050 in energy, transport and heating, while Denmark and Norway are making progress. The reasons are insufficient power grids, slow expansion of e-mobility and heat pumps. Denmark and Norway use taxes, subsidies and smart meters. Germany needs to better implement the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Technology
Economy
Germany is lagging behind technologically, shows a lack of feel for future developments and suffers from bureaucracy. Comfortcharge, a fast charging project of Deutsche Telekom, promises over 12,000 charging stations with 100% green electricity. Despite these investments in infrastructure, the expansion is only progressing slowly.
