- A report by Ember from London highlighted 2023 as a record-breaking year for renewable energy sources that do not emit planet-warming pollutants.
- For the first time, 30% of electricity produced worldwide was from clean energy sources, with a significant growth in solar and wind farms.
- Despite the increase in clean energy sources, fossil fuels still dominated the global electricity generation last year.
- Analysts predict a further increase in electricity usage in 2024, but renewable energy generation is expected to outpace this growth, potentially resulting in a decrease in energy produced from fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels generated less than a quarter of the EU's electricity in April: The drop in fossil fuel generation was driven by wind and solar growth as well as ...
