Germany commits to fossil fuel phase-out by 2045, doubling down on electrification
DW Top Stories·DE·about 15 hours ago
The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz, driven by the US-Israel-Iran war, has spiked oil and gas prices, accelerating the economic case for electrification. This dynamic has brought the '35 by 35' target—35% global electrification by 2035—into 'striking distance' ahead of COP31 in Antalya. The claim is analytical and forward-looking, with uncertainty over whether crisis-driven momentum will translate into durable policy commitments.
