Det är brunkol, kol och naturgas som är Tysklands "ryggraden" i tysklands höga CO2-utsläpp för elproduktion.
"Russia's attack on Ukraine in February 2022 led to severe distortions in the energy markets and a collapse in natural gas imports from Russia. In Europe, this situation combined with an outage of half of France's nuclear power plant fleet led to high electricity prices.
This shortfall was partly offset by an increase in coal-fired power generation, which now rose for the third year in succession after a downward trend since 2013. Lignite increased to 107 TWh (2021: 99 TWh), and hard coal to 56 TWh (2021: 47 TWh). By contrast, the use of natural gas to generate electricity fell from 52 TWh to 47 TWh.
Due to the shutdown of the three nuclear power plants Grohnde, Gundremmingen C and Brokdorf, generation from nuclear power dropped by 50 percent from 65 TWh to 33 TWh."
