FRANKFURT, Germany, Jan 7, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The pace of German greenhouse gas emissions cuts slowed further in 2025, putting in jeopardy climate goals in Europe's biggest economy, a think tank warned Wednesday. "At the current rate of reduction, there will still be a climate protection gap with regard to 2030," said the study. Overall Germany's 2025 emissions totalled 640 million tonnes, a reduction of nine million tonnes from the previous year, according to Agora. Higher fuel consumption pushed transport emissions up by 1.4 percent compared to 2024. However the think tank warned that "persistently high investment costs continue to slow the ramp-up of electric technologies in industry, buildings, and transport".
