More than 40 percent of the world’s electricity was created without burning fossil fuels in 2024, reports A new report from the Tank Ambassador Ambassador.
But carbon dioxide emissions that warm the planet have risen to high time, the report said, and hot weather pushes the common demand for power.
This meant an increase in the use of fossil fuels.
Solar energy remains the fastest energy source of energy, with the amount of electricity it has been twice in the last three years.
“The solar energy has become a worldwide energy transition,” said Fil McDonald, head of Ember.
“Among the noise, it is important to focus on a real signal. The hot weather increased the fossil increase in 2024, but we will be unlikely to see a similar jump in 2025.”
In a separate report, the European Climate Copernicus stated that in March 2025, in March, the hottest records was, continuing the spell or proximity to a record temperature.
Ember is a global analytical tank that was Prediction for several years The fact that climate emissions warming gas carbon dioxide were about to start drop.
But this has not yet happened because of the increase in world demand for electricity.
In the twenty -year -old cheap and relatively simple installation is the fastest source of electricity. According to Amber, the amount received by solar panels has doubled every three years since 2012.
China continues to dominate solar energy with more than half an increase. India’s solar capacity doubled between 2023 and 2024.
Although it grows rapidly, the solar remains a relatively small part of the global energy mixture that promotes just less than 7% of world supplies – this is the same as in the power of India.
The wind makes just over 8%, and the hydroelectric power plant contributes to 14%, making it the largest source of pure energy. Both hydroelectric materials and nuclear energy (9%) grow much slower than wind and sunny.
The report states that pure energy sources for the first time since the 1940s made more than 40% of the world’s electricity production. At that time, the demand was much lower, and hydroelectone stations made a significant share.
The big picture is that the growth of world demand for electricity continues to overcome the growth of renewable energy.
This means that, although the percentage obtained with pure power has increased to 40.9%, the number of release greenhouse gases will not yet fall.
According to the Ember report, global demand for electricity increased by 4% in 2024.
In part, this was due to the increase in the use of air conditioners in what was especially hot. This meant that the production of fossil fuels, mainly coal (34%) and gas (22%), increased by 1.4%, and global climate warming of the CO2 gas increased to a maximum of 14.6 billion tons.
Over the past five years, Asian economies have been developing rapidly, in particular India and China, continuing the use of fossil fuels to meet rapid electricity demand.
