⚠️In June 2025, the #carbon intensity of #powergeneration reached a historic low (205.9 g CO2/kWh) driven by the rise of #renewables and low use of #lignite.
🚨However, total #emissions from the sector reached 1.12 million tons, up 21% from May, due to the surge in #gas use.

📊 In the first half of 2025, #lignite fell to a decade low (1,413 GWh). In contrast, #gas reached a ten-year high of 10,925 GWh, while net #exports also reached a ten-year record of 783 GWh.

#Allemagne: « La production d' #électricité à partir de #lignite est tombée en juin 2025 à son niveau le plus bas depuis plus de 65 ans.
La production d'électricité à partir de lignite a baissé de 31% par rapport à juin de l'année dernière. »
the hambach forest has been #occupied for many years by #activists with self-built tree houses, which thus want to prevent #clearing of the #forest for the extraction of #lignite by #rwe. 2018 another #eviction was carried out, it lasted three weeks and is now considered the biggest of its kind.
Cheers from Bełchatów, Poland — home to Europe’s largest lignite-fired power plant and its single biggest CO₂ emitter.

2) Is digging for lignite in an open pit a #coal mine?
