8. Germany 

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Between 1990-2020: 28420 megatons 

Germany stands as Europe’s industrial powerhouse, but this stature has its carbon costs. Historically, the nation consumed vast amounts of coal, particularly lignite, one of the dirtiest fossil fuels, to energize its industries. Although Germany has made significant investments in renewable energy, coal still comprises a large portion of its electricity generation. Importantly, Germany aims to phase out coal by 2038 and to source 65% of its electricity from renewables by 2030.
