Germany produces energy from various natural and renewable sources. Natural gas is produced domestically and is a natural gas liquid with properties between gasoline and liquefied petroleum gas. Brown coal has a low degree of carbonization and is mined within Germany. Coal provides a widely used fossil fuel for electricity production through combustion. Biomass energy comes from organic materials like wood waste which can be burned as fuel. Wind energy harnesses the kinetic energy of wind through turbines to generate electricity for the electrical grid.
