In its report on the state of clean energy in the country, the German National Association for Renewables, (Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energie or BEE) reported that 9.1% of Germany’s primary energy is sourced from renewable energy. Biomass energy which is mainly used for electricity generation, heating and transport fuel, accounted for 68% of the 219.5 billion kilowatt hours attributed to renewables. This resulted in a reduction of 115 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions and a savings in fossil fuel imports worth 5.9 billion euros. Biodiesel and ethanol, the main biofuels for transport, now account for about 7% of Germany’s total transport fuels; biodiesel had a higher growth in sales compared to ethanol..
