Abstract

In the following report, Germany’s detailed efforts to achieve the climate targets are formulated. Necessary reduction of CO₂emissions and the graph of the indicators for the 2°C and the 1.5°C target are determined for 2030 and 2050 according to worldwide requirements to achieve climate protection goals. The necessary associated changes in the structure of energy production and consumption are shown graphically for 2030; in particular the share of energy sources to cover the energy demand, the corresponding energy flow from primary energy to the end energies and the related detailed CO₂ emissions. Achieving climate goals poses major challenges to the international community. Between 1870 and 2017, around 390 Gt of carbon were released into the atmosphere through the combustion of fossil fuels. In order to limit the temperature rise from the pre-industrial period to 2°C, the carbon content of the atmosphere must not exceed 800 Gt in total by 2100, and to meet the 1.5°C target only 550 Gt C. Not only the main emitters of CO₂ such as the USA and China, but all countries must make an appropriate contribution. How the load distribution for the 2°C or 1.5°C climate target should look for Germany has been analyzed in detail taking into account the economic development with the help of IMF statistics. The given development of the indicators and thus compliance with the 1.5 degree target seems to be possible for Germany.
