E3G is an independent climate change think tank operating to accelerate the global transition to a low carbon economy.
Decarbonising the European energy system by 2050 will require a fundamental shift for the way the gas industry operates, away from business-as-usual in network planning and market design. Achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in Europe, leaves no room for fossil gas consumption where CO2 is not captured and stored. But turning the gas industry into a zero-carbon industry is no simple task.
Germany is performing worse on coal phase out than the USA, despite the pro-coal rhetoric of the Trump Administration, and is falling further behind its peers in Canada, France, Italy and the UK. In a striking contrast to its leadership on renewables, Germany lies in sixth place out of seven in the 4th edition of E3G’s G7 coal scorecard ranking, with no substantial change in performance overall since our 2017 report.
