Europe’s largest economy, Germany, has launched a groundbreaking €23 billion initiative to attain net zero emissions by 2045 without compromising its energy-intensive industrial sector. The government, led by Olaf Scholz, unveiled 'climate protection contracts' aimed at assisting companies in steel, cement, and glass industries to cover extra costs associated with adopting cleaner technologies. Through this program, companies submit proposals for necessary support, with those offering the highest CO2 reductions at the lowest cost receiving funding. This initiative signifies Germany's commitment to sustainable industrial growth while mitigating environmental impact.
