In 2023, nearly all hydrogen consumed in the European Union was still produced from fossil fuels, despite four years of…

Germany’s carbon dioxide emissions fell to 640 million tonnes in 2025, a 1.5 percent year-on-year decline that places the country 49 percent below its 1990 baseline. On paper, the national target under the Climate Change Act was met. In practice, the slowdown in emission reductions compared with 2024 signals a more fragile trajectory, driven less by structural decarbonization and more by weak industrial output and favorable solar conditions, according to Agora Energiewende’s annual review of Germany’s energy year.
