Germany, which announced on Sunday a probable increased use of coal to compensate for the drop in Russian gas deliveries, maintains its objective of abandoning this polluting energy in 2030, the government said on Monday.
“
Coming out of coal in 2030 is not wavering at all (…) we may have to restart coal-fired power plants (…) which will naturally lead to increased CO2 emissions, so it is all the more important that we basically stick to our timetable
,” a spokesperson for the Ministry of Economy and Climate told a press conference in Berlin.
