Energy in Germany

All that needs energy. Traffic, heating, or eletricity almost everything needs energy. We produce most of our electricity with coal-, atomic- and gas power stations. We use gasoline and diesel to drive. We most of our heaters use oil or gas for heating. Germany consumes 105,7 million tons of oil per year. Germany consumes 95,9 billion m³ of oil per year.

Germany has not enough of this resources in their own land area. We import about 90 million tons of oil per year. We import 97,9 billion m³ of gas.

j Germany is the eight biggest oil consumer in the world. Germany is the sixth biggest oil importer. Germany is the second biggest gas importer. Germany is the fifth biggest gas consumer in the world.

Co2 emission in Germany Fossil energy sources cause the most Co2 emission The limit of greenhouse gas emission in Germany is Mio. tons per year In 2011 the emission was 450 Mio. tons 87.4% of the greenhouse gas emission was Co2

Reasons for Co2 emissions

Nuclear power stations 2011 Germany reduce the nuclear power stations No negative effects for Co2 emission Rate of consumption of coal rises about 4.9%

Coal powerstations There is just enough coal for the next 200 years There is just enough oil for the next 41 years Oil costs more than coal Coal are more use as oil Coal causes more emission than oil More emission

Coal and gas

Renewable energies

The aims of the government - Part of renewable energies in energy production around 35% until Reducing demand of primary energies around 50% until million electric cars until 2020, 6 million until No atomic energy until 2022

In 2011 Germany spends: - 5 billion euros for the offshore installations in north and eastsea million euros for development of save options for renewable energies - 2 billion euros for development of electric cars - 1,5 billion euros for restauration of private houses Measures of the government
