Germany's reported carbon emissions
As of 2025, Germany's carbon emissions data is not explicitly detailed in terms of total emissions in kg CO2e. However, the average CO2 emissions from new passenger car registrations in Germany have been reported as approximately 0.105 kg CO2e per vehicle kilometre (vkm) for 2025. This figure reflects ongoing trends in the automotive sector, which is a significant contributor to the country's overall emissions. In 2020, the average CO2 emissions from new passenger car registrations were about 0.13 kg CO2e per vkm, indicating a slight improvement in emissions performance over the five-year period. In 2015, this figure was approximately 0.15 kg CO2e per vkm, showcasing a gradual reduction in emissions associated with new vehicle registrations. Germany has not disclosed specific reduction targets or commitments through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges, indicating a potential area for development in their climate strategy. The absence of disclosed Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data suggests that further transparency and reporting may be necessary to fully understand the country's carbon footprint. Overall, while Germany has made some progress in reducing emissions from the automotive sector, the lack of comprehensive emissions data and formal reduction targets highlights the need for enhanced climate commitments and initiatives moving forward.
