    That is actually better then I thought (Germany and UK) but I’m pretty sure we’re still on our way to miss our targets by a mile even though I don’t know what they are, exactly. Probably reduction not compared to 1990 but 2010 or 2020?

    From 2010 to 2022 Germany’s reduction was only from 10 to 8 t per capita:

    And it seems to have gone up from 2020 to 2022 😢

        Not true. Coal use has actually declined again quickly, while renewables have supplanted the (meagre) former nuclear capacity. Germany also imports a bit more power from its European neighbors to avoid spinning up costly fossil plants. Most of the imports are low-CO2, i.e. Swedish/Austrian/Swiss hydro power, Danish wind power, and French nuclear.
