Crude Oil Production
Germany relies on imports for more than 97% of its crude oil supply with a production of 3.1 Mt in 2021. The country imported more than 81 Mt of crude oil in 2021, about 35% of which came from Russia. Following the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the country has committed to stop Russian oil imports by the end of 2022.
Germany has 12 refineries in operation with a total capacity of 2.1 mb/d. The five biggest refineries are MiRo (298 kb/d), Gelsenkirchen (257 kb/d), Leuna (241 kb/d), Schwedt (232 kb/d), and Ingolstadt (206 kb/d).

Oil Products Consumption
From 2012 to 2017, the consumption of oil products remained relatively flat at around 100 Mt. In 2020, consumption dropped by 5% to 93 Mt due to Covid related travel restrictions and dropped by a further 4% in 2021.
Graph: OIL CONSUMPTION (Mt)
Half of oil products are consumed in transport (50%), followed by the residential sector (19%) and non-energy uses (18%).

Coal Consumption
Coal and lignite consumption decreased by 3%/year between 2015 and 2018. In 2019, it dropped by around 20% in 2019 and again in 2020, following the closure of 9 GW of coal-and lignite fired power plants. In 2021, coal and lignite consumption increased by 19%, to 165 Mt, with improved competitivity for coal due to gas prices rises.
Graph: COAL CONSUMPTION (Mt)
The power sector absorbs 82% of coal and lignite consumption and industry accounts for 12%.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA), within BMWi, is the agency that funds the development of renewables.
The official target of 18% of renewables in final consumption in 2020 was exceeded by 1.3 points (19.3%), with 14.8% for heating and cooling (-0.7 points below target), 44.7% for electricity (+4.9 points), and 9.9% for transport (-4.4 points). The NECP raised this share to 30% of final consumption in 2030.
