In 2023, Germany avoided 250 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO₂e) through the use of renewables in the fields of electricity, heat, and transportation. As the consumption of renewables in Germany has grown, so, too, have the volumes of annual avoided emissions. It is estimated that Germany's use of renewable energies has avoided more than three GtCO₂e since 2000.
