The Green Transition in Germany 1995-2021
The Green Transition in Germany 1995-2021
The Green Transition in Germany 1995-2021
Current data from the five main groups hydro, green, nuclear and fossil are shown, after which the
sum has been estimated to be reported in point form. Trend curves are developed, and with this
Germany still may provide fossil dismantling until 2030. But today’s trend curves (thin blacks) indicate
that fossil energy dismantling has ceased.
It may have turned out in 2016 that the German plan to dismantle nuclear power up to 2022
assisted by increased green energy may have stopped.
If you follow the Germans' "energy transition", you can see that it lost momentum in 2021. The
reason may be too small investment in solar cells and too much in wind power. If it blows less than
one year, the sun will shine the more.

Export and import
Discussion
The above facts refer to Germany's production of electricity. In 2016, 55.5 TWh was exported. This is
reduced to 20 kWh the year2021. Can it be so that there has been more energy storing?
They have increased burning of coal and decreased the burning of gas a little, probably due to the
problems with gas deliveries.
Then the question is raised: will solar hydrogen become a future vehicle fuel
and also a large part of the necessary energy storage?
