Germany has published a roadmap targeting an end to fossil fuel use by 2045, with expanded renewables and electrification across power, transport, heating, and industry. It aims for renewables to supply at least 80% of electricity by 2030 and retains a coal exit deadline of 2038 while considering 2035. The plan is presented as a climate and energy-security measure, though advocates say faster action and clearer implementation are needed.
