Smart and Sustainable Use of energy in Germany

Germany holds the national record for renewable use of energy.
85% of all the electricity is being produced from renewables such as wind, solar, biomass and hydroelectric power. The proportions for electricity production are 13% for wind energy, 8% for biomass, 6% for solar energy, 3% for hydropower.
Our intention is to eliminate the use of nuclear power by 2022 and to decrease the CO2 emissions by 2050.
Some initiatives Germany has started are to reduce motor fossil fuels and to introduce more electric cars, to improve the conditions for bike riders and to introduce free public transport in cities,...
The nature of our energy system is changing from a system relying on centralised, large power stations to a decentralised structure with numerous smaller power generation systems.
Today we need storage solutions and smart power grids to deal with the excess energy produced during peaks in solar, wind, biomass and hydroelectric energy.
