German lignite plants make up seven out of 10 of Europe鈥檚 biggest polluters, according to an analysis of European ETS data by climate NGO Sandbag. 鈥淭hat is because lignite power plants, especially in Germany, continue to run nearly 24 hours a day x 7 days a week.鈥�
On a country-by-country basis, Germany remained Europe鈥檚 biggest coal polluter by far last year, according to Sandbag. 鈥淭he biggest two coal polluters saw the smallest reductions: German coal power plant emissions fell only 4 percent, and Poland emission fell by only 1 percent.  Even since 2010, the movements have been small: minus 5 percent for Germany and minus 7 percent for Poland.鈥�
At the end of last week, the owner of one of Germany鈥檚 largest lignite-mining operations, LEAG, scrapped plans to expand one of its mines, a step some observers called the 鈥渂eginning of the end鈥� for lignite.
