The German federal government recently approved the 2026 Climate Protection Plan and will allocate an additional 8 billion euros over the next four years to help achieve its 2030 emissions reduction targets through measures such as expanding installed wind power capacity and increasing subsidies for NEVs. Germany’s Environment Ministry stated that by 2030, these measures could additionally reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 25 million mt, while cutting consumption of nearly 7 billion m³ of natural gas and about 4 billion liters of gasoline. German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider said the climate protection plan would inject “new momentum” into climate action while helping reduce Germany’s dependence on costly and unstable oil and gas imports.
