Summary
The head of the chemical group Evonik, Christian Kullmann, is in favor of postponing the planned coal phase-out in North Rhine-Westphalia. I do not see the coal phase-out in 2030. The Federal Government must by 15. It depends on the framework conditions. In December 2022, the Bundestag passed a law according to which the three lignite blocks Neurath F and G and Niederausußem K will be phased out in 2030 instead of 2038.
Furthermore, The head of Evonik also called for the goal of climate neutrality in Germany to be postponed from 2045 to 2050: “This would make sense in order not to further disadvantage our industry.” Germany’s share of global CO2 emissions is just 1.6 percent. For the world climate, it is irrelevant when we become climate neutral. Kullmann: Moving the goal of climate neutrality to 2050 Last week, the Bundestag approved the plan to build numerous new gas-fired power plants over the next five years. Decide whether and to what extent the installations are transferred to a reserve and thus by 31 August.
