Germany's greenhouse emissions gap will probably be bigger than the government's estimates in 2030 even if planned emission reduction measures are fully implemented, a council of climate experts that advises the government said on Tuesday.
The largest economy in Europe aims to cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 65% by 2030 compared with 1990. The country's CO2 levels last year were already 40% below the 1990 level.
"The expected overall reduction is probably overestimated," Hans-Martin Henning, the council's chairman, said in a statement. Watering down a bill that aimed to phase out oil and gas heating systems will also contribute to the lower cuts in the building sector, the report showed.
