Energy in Germany is obtained primarily from fossil fuels, accounting for 77.6% of total energy consumption in 2023, followed by renewables at 19.6%, and 0.7% nuclear power. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] On 15 April 2023, the three remaining German nuclear reactors were taken offline, completing the country's nuclear phase-out plan. [ 3 ]
In the first half of 2021, coal was the largest source of power generation in Germany due to less wind than in the years before. [185] As coal is continuously phased-out in Germany, natural gas is increasingly replacing coal-burning power plants. In late 2021, a record-breaking surge in energy prices in Europe, particularly for natural gas and ...
The reserve list specifies different types of coal and includes countries with at least 0.1% share of the estimated world's proven reserves of coal. All data are taken from the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) via BP; all numbers are in million tonnes. [1]
World annual coal consumption 1980–2019 Consumption trends in the top five coal-consuming countries 1980–2019. Although reserves of coal remain abundant, consumption of coal has declined in many countries. In 2016, Scotland closed its last coal-fired power plant, [7] accommodated by an increase in nuclear power generation (to 42.8% of 2016 ...
"Germany tried that, and within one year, they were back to building normal energy plants." ... as it plans to transition the majority of its energy consumption to renewable energy by 2050.
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
