Key Highlights
- The German policy to build new coal-fired power plants is projected to support its coal mining industry, since the power sector has traditionally accounted for more than 90% of the country's coal consumption.
- In addition to these new coal fired plants, Germany has adopted a policy to phase out nuclear power. This potentially increases demand for coal fired electricity generation, although renewables could also fill at least part of this void.
- In 2011, the government established a new policy, Energiewende (energy transition), which outlined plans to shift Germany's energy generation from nuclear and fossil fuels to renewable sources. The primary objectives of the policy was to cut carbon emissions by 80–95%, fight climate change, and reduce and eliminate the risk of nuclear power.
- The country's consumption of coal in 2014 was an estimated 247Mt, 98% of which was consumed by the power generation sector.
