As a result of Russia’s war in Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Schultz issued a warning against the global expansion of coal.
In a government statement read today, Thursday, in the German parliament, the “Bondstag,” Schultz said that the aggression of Russia should not result in the rise of coal as an energy source worldwide. He also said that European positions will be coordinated in this regard during the anticipated European Union summit in order to participate in the following international climate conference.
We will pass this winter together, Schultz said in Parliament today, noting that the level of filling level of gas tanks estimated at 95% has already exceeded That was pursued on the first of next November. Schultz also stated that he believes his country has enough energy resources for the upcoming months despite the cessation of Russian gas supplies.
The German advisor highlighted that the government “is still adhering to our climate targets that have been announced” despite the decision to reinstate coal power plants in the grid.
Schultz at the same time expressed his great gratitude for the savings endeavors made by many citizens and citizens regarding energy, and stressed that everything was done “in order to protect our sensitive infrastructure together.
In a comparable vein, the German advisor cautioned against the dangers of establishing a maximum price for gas purchases in Europe, saying that “prices politically present a risk that the producers will sell their gas in other regions.”
It is notable that one of the issues that could spark a disagreement at the upcoming European summit is the maximum gas price that several EU member states require.
Schultz emphasised the need to communicate closely with other gas consumers like Japan and Kuroya “so that we do not become rivals to each other,” as well as the necessity of talking to gas producers about establishing a fair price.
I am confident that nations like the United States of America, Canada, or Norway that are standing with us to support Ukraine have an interest in not having energy in Europe, he continued.
