Abstract Germany 2050For the first time Germany reached a balance between its sources of anthropogenic CO2 to the atmosphere and newly created anthropogenic sinks. This backcasting study presents a fictional future in which this goal was achieved by avoiding (∼645 Mt CO2), reducing (∼50 Mt CO2) and removing (∼60 Mt CO2) carbon emissions. This meant substantial transformation of the energy system, increasing energy efficiency, sector coupling and electrification, energy storage solutions including synthetic energy carriers, sector-specific solutions for industry, transport and agriculture, as well as nature-based and technological carbon dioxide removal. All of the above was necessary to achieve a net-zero CO2 system for Germany by 2050.
