German Coal Power Plants Are Europe’s Most Climate-Damaging

Germany has some of Europe’s most ambitious climate targets. It also has four of the region’s five dirtiest power plants.

While PGE SA’s Belchatow lignite unit in Poland was Europe’s dirtiest last year, with 37.2 million metric tons of CO2 emissions, the next four are in Germany, according to a study published today by environmental groups including WWF.
