Germany’s cabinet has approved a roadmap to phase out oil, coal, and gas by 2045, reaffirming the country’s target of greenhouse gas neutrality. The plan, presented by Environment Minister Carsten Schneider at the United Nations in New York, lays out how Europe’s largest economy will remove fossil fuels from power, transport, heating, and industry. Germany becomes the third country after France and the Netherlands to publish such a roadmap. The strategy centers on electrification: renewables now supply about 55% of gross electricity consumption, with a target of at least 80% by 2030. The plan adds 12 GW of onshore wind capacity and continues solar expansion. Coal is scheduled to leave the power system no later than 2038, and the plan will examine bringing that deadline forward to 2035. Battery-electric cars are expected to make up 100% of new passenger car registrations by 2035 under EU fleet rules. Heat pumps are set to become Germany’s dominant heating system in the coming years. Civil society groups welcomed the signal but said German policies like gas-plant subsidies work against it.
