I’ve always loved Germany, and this is a massive step in the right direction.

I really hope that other countries [cough, America, cough] follow suit.

We’re too late to skip the Climate Clock, but it’s not unsalvageable!

Well they were sabotaging EUs goals of phasing out ICE vehicles. But at least this is something.

Still love you, Germany :)

Here's a nice little dashboard I saw recently on how progress towards net zero is going in various countries: https://lucabron.github.io/netzero/index.html

Germany is more or less on track for the 2050 net zero target assuming linear progress. Realistically, that means with how adoption curves go, it might be possible to hit it well before 2050, but even then actual zero (not just net zero) fossil fuel usage sounds very very difficult.

That said though, currently around 3.9 GW of Germany's electricity generation at any given time comes from biogas, so I guess if all that usage (and all other fossil fuel usage) is displaced by renewables, it'd be possible to store all that biogas, and potentially even convert it to other fuel forms for certain hard-to-decarbonize sectors.
