plant, which is among the biggest single emitters of CO2 in Europe, on October 29, 2021in Peitz, Germany. While Germany has invested heavily in renewable energy sources, including solar and wind power, over the past decades, it remains dependent on lignite coal for a significant portion of its energy production. And while other countries within the European Union have promised to phase out coal for electricity production within coming years, Germany has made its phase-out pledge for 2038.
The recommended mandates include phasing out coal power by 2035 in developed countries, and by 2045 in developing countries. According to the researchers, these regulatory mandates would also have a knock-on effect, accelerating change in other sectors as well. “Mandates are clearly the most effective policy approach, and we call on policymakers worldwide to implement them at speed,” he added.Lead author Dr. Femke Nijsse said a zero-emission mandate for cars showed the best potential for being a ‘super-leverage point’ in terms of a global transition.
“And we concluded that these savings would be 2.5% by when you do everything, rather than each sectoral transitions at a time, and that's equivalent to the total current carbon emissions of Vietnam.”
