German Weather

Germany has moderately cool climate. It has all four seasons : Summer,Spring,Autumn and Winter. Rain falls throughout the year.

Summer falls between june,july and august. Summer can be extremely hot with temperature surpassing 30° too. But it is very short and enjoy as much as possible. Rainy days can be expected the very next day.

Autumn falls in the month of september,october and november with windy days, raining often and with the trees changing color.

Winter is always harsh. By the end of November the winter the temperature falls down drastically with snow in most parts of the country. The extreme winter goes upto -10 °.

Anew life starts in the Spring during april and may which is the most awaited months of the year. The days become longer and warmer with fresh green leaves and budding flowers.

Climate Policy

In Germany the Wind power and Solar power are the most important and inexpensive renewable sources of energy. Internationally, Germany leads the way in climate protection and is a pioneer in the development of renewable energies. The exit from nuclear power is already under way. Environmental and climate protection have long been a high priority in Germany. Internationally, Germany leads in climate protection and is a pioneer in the development of renewable energy sources.

Germans are known for their key Energiewende (Energy transition), a strategy largely focused on switching to renewables and, in doing so, cutting carbon emissions drastically. Germany’s Renewable Energy Act (EEG) gives renewables priority on the grid and guarantees that investors in renewable energy receive large income.

 

Renewable energy

The sources of renewable energy include wind and solar power, biomass, geothermal energy and hydropower. Renewable energies can make a significant contribution to climate protection. The basic principle underlying the use of renewable energies is that electricity, heat and fuel are produced using either processes that occur in nature or renewable raw materials.

Renewable energy in Germany increased to 30 percent of total production/consumption by 2016. Germany also broke a record, with 85 percent of all energy consumed in the country coming from renewables such a solar, biomass and hydroelectric power.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Climate change brought by the sharp rise in greenhouse gas emissions since the beginning of the industrial era is a global challenge of nations is hoping to be achieved. The top priority in this regard is greenhouse gas emission reductions. The goal of German energy policy is to reduce industrial emissions drastically. The measures in this regard aim to increase the use of renewable energy and improve energy efficiency.

The ways to reduce greenhouse gases is to substantially reduce energy use, improve energy efficiency and at the same time ramp up renewable energy production and use. To leverage this potential, we need to optimize renewable energy technologies.
