The forecast for air emissions of greenhouse gases in Germany's high digital intensive industries shows stability in 2024 and 2025 at 18 metric tons of CO2 equivalent per USD, followed by a decrease to 17 metric tons from 2026 onwards. This suggests a year-on-year reduction of approximately 5.56% from 2025 to 2026, with a consistent level maintained through 2028. In 2023, emissions were likely at the same level as projected for 2024 and 2025, indicating no significant changes until 2026. The compound annual growth rate over the last five years reflects an average annual decrease, indicating gradual improvements in emissions efficiency.
Future trends to watch involve advancements in digital efficiency, governmental regulatory changes, and the role of technology in emissions reduction. Emphasizing sustainable digital practices may further lower emissions, aligning industry goals with climate objectives.
