Germany's renewable energy sources.
Germany is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels for domestic power production. In 2022, some 30 percent of gross electricity was generated using lignite and hard coal, considered the most polluting of energy sources. Natural gas contributed another 13 percent. Meanwhile, the combined share of renewables stood at roughly 44 percent, with wind power being the most prominent of Distribution of energy sources used for gross electricity generation in Germany in 2022
