The transport sector in particular emits so many greenhouse gases that Germany may not reach its climate targets.

Berlin According to a projection by the federal government, Germany will not achieve its climate goals in either 2030 or 2045. This emerges from the projection report, which the ministries are currently coordinating and which the Federal Government will then transmit to the EU Commission. The report is available to the Handelsblatt.
According to this, too many emissions are produced in addition to the transport sector in industry and heating. Therefore, according to the projection report, “the target of net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045 (…) will be clearly missed”.
The Federal Government must draw up a corresponding report every two years. In it, a research team led by the Öko-Institut and the Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research analyzes whether the measures planned and decided by the government help to reduce emissions.
The biggest problem remains the transport sector, which will emit around 200 million tons of carbon dioxide too much by 2030 – about as much as cars, trucks, buses, trains and planes currently produce in 15 months.
