Wants to green power and gas activities graduallymapped out plans to move away from fossil fuels on Tuesday with billions of euros in green investments, hailing record earnings in the first half of 2023 as a turnaround following its bailout just a year earlier.

The planned transformation consists of decarbonising Uniper's existing power and gas assets and building up new ones. Expecting no further financial losses from procuring replacement gas volumes, Uniper said on Tuesday no further capital increases from the German state would be necessary.

The company is aiming to transition away from natural gas towards hydrogen and biomethane, although its plan to reduce carbon emissions also relies on carbon capture and expanding imports.
