Share of renewables in electricity generation
Renewable electricity generation is vital for ensuring a successful energy transition. Renewable energies represent an increasingly high share of Türkiye's and Germany's energy sources. While hydropower is the main source of renewable energy in Türkiye, wind power has the highest share in Germany.
Total final energy consumption
Reducing final energy consumption is important for reducing carbon emissions. Energy consumption is linked to economic development but it can be decoupled by improving energy efficiency.

CO2 - emissions
Efficiency improvements and high shares of renewable energy contribute to decoupling economic growth from CO2 emissions. Germany’s CO2 emissions are higher than those of Türkiye and are declining, while Türkiye’s emissions are lower but are increasing with its economic development. The energy transition provides an opportunity for sustained economic growth without further increases in carbon emissions.
