Germany Sets 2045 Fossil Fuel Exit Target image

Germany has published a roadmap targeting a transition away from fossil fuels by 2045, with expanded renewable power and greater electrification of transport, heating, and industry. It aims to raise renewables to at least 80% of electricity by 2030 and reaffirms a coal exit by 2038 while considering 2035. The roadmap sets a direction and includes proposed measures, but climate advocates say faster action and stronger implementation are needed.
