Renewable energy and its importance for tackling climate change

Major sources of renewable energy include solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, geothermal and biomass energy, which is derived from burning plant or animal matter and waste. Switching our reliance on fossil fuels to renewable energy sources that produce lower or no greenhouse gas emissions is critically important in tackling the climate crisis.

Renewables – Global Energy Review 2021 – Analysis

Renewable energy use increased 3% in 2020 as demand for all other fuels declined. The primary driver was an almost 7% growth in electricity generation from renewable sources. Long-term contracts, priority access to the grid, and continuous installation of new plants underpinned renewables growth despite lower electricity demand, supply chain

The rise of renewables and energy transition: what adaptation

The energy landscape is changing rapidly with far-reaching implications for the global energy industry and actors, including oil companies and oil-exporting countries. These rapid changes introduce multidimensional uncertainty, the most important of which is the speed of the transition. While the transformation of the energy system is rapid in certain regions of the

The role of renewable energy in the global energy transformation

Electrification emerges as a key area that offers synergies between efficiency and renewables as well as for coupling sectors. Latter is particularly important for integration of variable renewable energy sources in the power system (see Box 1). In each end-use sector, there are applications where renewable electricity can substitute direct use

Sustainable Energy Transition for Renewable and Low Carbon

Renewable sources of energy represented by mainly solar, wind grew by +2,224% or 1,370 TWh over the same period. This was the fastest growth recorded for renewable sources of energy. However, over 75% of electricity in 2016 came from non-renewable sources, mainly from thermal energy accounting for 65% or 16,186 TWh and nuclear 10% or 2,608 TWh.

Renewable and Non-renewable Energy Resources Explained

by Kevin Stark There are two major categories of energy: renewable and non-renewable. Non-renewable energy resources are available in limited supplies, usually because they take a long time to replenish. The advantage of these non-renewable resources is that power plants that use them are able to produce more power on demand. The non-renewable energy
