That's cos Germany did not demolish its coal fired power stations like the U.K.
There are currently 30 coal-fired power stations in Germany, including RWE’s lignite-fired Niederaussem plant, accounting for around a third of its electricity generation. In the UK, coal-fired power made up just 3% of the UK’s electricity in the first quarter of 2019, according to Ofgem, and will be phased out altogether by 2025.
The U.K. is a BIG loser. But it does burn wood chippings as they are supposedly "green".
