3. Germany has invested in wind and solar energy and now has
4 of the 10 largest solar parks in the world.
A large global economy, this central-European country is a big
consumer of energy but doesn’t have large reserves of fossil
fuels, apart from coal.

GERMANY BREAKS A SOLAR RECORD
Gets 85% Of Electricity
From Renewables

4. 17% of electricity in
Germany comes from
renewable sources and 23%
of electricity comes from
nuclear power.
In 2011, the German
government announced it
was going to end the
production of nuclear power
by 2022 and so is now
looking to build more off-
shore wind farms.
Germany also has several
villages which derive their
energy from biofuel. The
first bio-village was Jühnde.

6. Jühnde is a municipality in the south of the district of
Göttingen, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Recently, the village has come to be known as the first so-
called "bio energy village" in Germany.
Since autumn 2005, the heat and electricity supplies for the
village have been entirely produced from waste products
collected from the surrounding fields, by feeding them
into a one-of-a-kind biogas plant.
