1 · In 2023, new renewable energy capacity financed in advanced economies was exposed to higher base interest rates than in China and the global average for the first time. Since 2022, central bank base interest rates have increased from below 1% to almost 5%. The renewable energy industry,
Renewables are expected to continue their rapid growth, driven in part by their cost competitiveness—in many regions they are already the lowest-cost option for incremental new-build power generation. Renewable energy sources are expected to provide between 45 and 50 percent of global generation by 2030, and between 65 and 85
2 · Renewables become the largest source of global electricity generation by early 2025, surpassing coal. Their share of the power mix is forecast to increase by 10 percentage points over the forecast period, reaching 38% in 2027. Renewables are the only electricity generation source whose share is expected to grow, with declining shares for coal,
Since the Industrial Revolution, the energy mix of most countries across the world has become dominated by fossil fuels. This has major implications for the global climate, as well as for human health. Three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions result from the burning of fossil fuels for energy. Fossil fuels are responsible for large amounts of local
Renewable energy sources are expected to provide between 45 and 50 percent of global generation by 2030, and between 65 and 85 percent by 2050. In all
Meanwhile, solar power capacity surpassed 63 gigawatts in 2022. India has recently seen impressive growth in its wind energy sector. Since 2010, installed wind capacity has more than tripled
1 · Over the coming five years, several renewable energy milestones are expected to be achieved: In 2024, wind and solar PV together generate more electricity than
The outlook''s Transforming Energy Scenario aligns energy investments with the need to keep global warming "well below 2 o C", in line with the Paris Agreement. Jobs in renewables would reach 42 million globally by 2050, four times their current level, through the increased focus of investments on renewables.
3 · IEA Key World Energy Statistics (KWES) is an introduction to energy statistics, providing top-level numbers across the energy mix, from supply and demand, to prices and research budgets, including outlooks, energy indicators and definitions. KWES is part of the IEA''s annual edition of the world''s most comprehensive series of energy databases
2 · Renewable Energy Market Update - June 2023. Executive summary. Led by solar PV, renewable power growth is surging – driven by the global energy crisis and
2 · The industry sector in 2022 was directly responsible for emitting 9.0 Gt of CO 2, accounting for a quarter of global energy system CO 2 emissions 1. Annual emissions slightly declined in both 2020 and 2022, but not enough to align with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario, in which industrial emissions fall to about 7 Gt CO 2 by 2030.
Regulatory boosts to renewable energy and transmission buildout could help address grid constraints. And boosts to manufacturing could lay the foundations of a domestic clean energy industry with stronger supply chains supporting solar, wind,
18 Jan 2022. GLOBALLY, we are witnessing an ongoing worldwide energy shortage, environmental crisis and rising raw renewable energy (RE) material costs. Along with this, we see rising concern for climate change and sustainability, increased governance (ESG) considerations. At the recent 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26
Korea''s energy sector is characterised by the dominance of fossil fuels, which in 2018 accounted for 85% of total primary energy supply (TPES), a strong dependence on energy imports at 84% of TPES, and the dominance of industrial energy use at 55% of total final consumption, the highest share among IEA countries.
4 · Clean energy boomed in 2023, with 50% more renewables capacity added to energy systems around the world compared to the previous year. Additional renewable
Renewable electricity capacity additions broke another record in 2021 and biofuels demand almost recovered to pre-Covid levels, despite the continuation of logistical challenges and increasing prices.
In exploring recent market and policy developments, the Renewable Energy Market Update forecasts new global renewable power capacity additions for 2021 and 2022. It also provides updated biofuel production forecasts for these years, as the sector suffered significant losses with declining transport demand during the pandemic.
McKinsey estimates that by 2026, global renewable-electricity capacity will rise more than 80 percent from 2020 levels (to more than 5,022 gigawatts). 1 Of this growth, two-thirds will come from wind
