🌍☀️ Renewable Energy Revolution: The Race to 2030 The world is on track to power nearly half its electricity with renewables by 2030, thanks to surging solar and wind growth. But we’re still shy of the goal to triple renewable capacity this decade, set at COP28. Here’s what the IEA’s latest report reveals: 🔸 Solar shines brightest: 80% of global renewable growth will come from solar by 2030. 🔸 China leads the charge: Accounting for nearly 60% of new renewable capacity, it’s set to hold almost half the world’s total by decade’s end. 🔸 Global grid needs a boost: To keep up, 25 million kilometers of power lines and 1,500 GW of storage are essential. With stronger international cooperation, ambitious national targets, and continued public adoption, the tripling target is still within reach. Let's light the path to a sustainable future! 💡 https://lnkd.in/g47fm7Ne #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #WindEnergy #Sustainability #GreenFuture

"🌟 Exciting news from IRENA! 🌎 G7 countries have tasked IRENA to monitor their collective progress towards the global target to triple renewable energy by 2030 📈. This milestone was established at COP28, aligning with IRENA's 1.5°C pathway. Read the full press release and access three briefs from IRENA, which provide insights on: ✨ The G7's solar PV expansion target and offshore wind deployment ✨ The need for increased system flexibility and energy storage capacity ✨ The urgent need to support developing countries, particularly in Africa, through the Accelerated Partnership for Renewable Energy in Africa (APRA) Click the link to learn more and stay up-to-date on the latest developments in the renewable energy sector! 💚 https://lnkd.in/gxNM_wuj #IRENA #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #ClimateAction #G7"

🌍 Renewable energy made headlines by providing 30% of the world's electricity in 2023! 🌱 According to a report by Ember, this marks a significant increase from 19% in 2000, showcasing the remarkable growth of solar and wind sectors. China led the way with over half of total solar and wind generation. This achievement brings us closer to meeting the global target set at Cop28 to triple renewable capacity by the decade's end. Moreover, it's clear that the era of falling fossil fuel generation has begun, with renewables playing a crucial role in reducing power sector emissions. In the EU, member states generated 44% of their electricity from renewables, with the UK also making significant strides despite a slight drop in renewable energy output. These figures demonstrate the immense progress we've made towards a sustainable energy future. However, we must continue to accelerate the transition to renewables to meet our climate goals. The world needs to reach 60% renewable electricity by 2030 to stay on track for a 1.5-degree Celsius target. Let's celebrate this milestone and keep pushing for a greener, cleaner future.🌿💡 #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GlobalPower #ClimateAction

☀ 2024 great leap towards net 0 in developed economies! Global renewable energy capacity surged by an astounding 50% in 2023, with solar PV leading the charge. China alone commissioned as much solar PV as the entire world did in 2022. Additionally, the United States, Europe, and Brazil saw record-breaking growth in renewable energy capacity. Renewables are on track to surpass coal as the top electricity source by 2025, according to the IEA's latest report. However, meeting the COP28 goal of tripling renewable capacity by 2030 requires addressing financing gaps in emerging economies and accelerating policy implementation worldwide! #Infrastructure #Utility #NYCGridStrength #jobs #openroles #engineering #civilengineers #NYC

Electricity Generation by G20 Nations. The graph shows the percentage of electricity generated by different energy sources in each of the G20 countries. Non-renewable energy sources are the dominant source of electricity in most G20 countries, with Brazil and Canada being the only countries where more than half of their electricity comes from renewable sources. South Korea generates 91% of its electricity from non-renewable sources, while Brazil generates only 11% of its electricity from non-renewable sources. USA generates about 3/4th of its electricity from Non-Renewable Sources. Considering all renewable sources, wind and solar are the dominant sources, with a share percentage of 16% of the overall generation. To mitigate climate change and ensure a sustainable energy future, the world should prioritize transitioning to renewable energy sources, especially wind and solar, to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Let's join hands today for a sustainable and reliable future ahead, before it's too late. #Sustainability #Energy #Savings #Reliable #Renewable #Savings #Solar #Wind #Upgrades.

#Wind energy is #20% of the #electricity consumed in #Europe. The EU want it to be 35% by 2030. And over half by 2050. : By 2030 #windenergy will: provide 500,000 jobs in Europe, up from 300,000 today; save 190 bcm of fossil fuel imports each year; cut emissions at a rate of 262m tonnes less CO2 every year; ....... #Wind #RenewableEnergy #Europe WindEurope Ember

📢 Historic moment for Europe’s energy transition! 🌍 #Wind and #Solar have officially overtaken fossil fuels in the EU’s electricity generation for the first time ever. In the first half of this year, renewables contributed 30% of the electricity, while fossil fuels fell to 27%. This milestone is a testament to the growing power of #renewables, but we can't stop here. To achieve the EU’s ambitious climate neutrality target, we must accelerate our efforts. The goal is for wind energy to surpass 50% of all electricity generation by 2050. The path forward is clear: we need urgent investment in electricity #grids, faster #permitting processes, the electrification of heavy #industry, a level playing field for clean tech #manufacturing, and a focus on #innovation to scale up proven renewable technologies.

Renewable Energy Capacity Through Time: A Global Surge Since 2000, global renewable energy capacity has grown by an incredible 415%, and this chart highlights the contributions of various regions. China leads the charge, adding 298 GW in 2023 alone, bringing its total to a staggering 1,454 GW. Europe and the U.S. follow, with substantial additions of 71 GW and 31 GW respectively in 2023. This growth signals a global shift toward clean energy. The renewable energy race is no longer confined to just a few countries but spans across regions like Asia, Brazil, and Africa, showcasing the widespread commitment to decarbonization. As we move forward, the focus will be on how nations can maintain this momentum and further integrate renewable energy into their grids. With the world’s total renewable energy capacity now at 3,870 GW, the transition is well underway. But the real question remains: How quickly can we scale these efforts to meet global climate goals? #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonization #EnergyTransition #GlobalEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #China #Europe #US

One year since the COP28 agreement to triple global renewable capacity, national targets still only aim for a collective doubling of capacity by 2030, finds a recent Ember report lead by Katye Altieri. This gap is in place despite booming market forecasts that should give confidence for higher ambition. As the share of renewable energy increases, the electricity grid will become even more important.  The report highlights that Eurasia, which as a bloc is falling far below its targets to achieve a tripling of renewables could install 52% more renewables in the International Energy Agency (IEA)’s accelerated case scenario by overcoming challenges such as slow grid infrastructure expansion and high financing costs.  Deploying #InnovativeGridTechnologies at scale can accelerate the grid expansion, helping to integrate a larger share of renewables more quickly, aiding Europe and the world as it looks to achieve its ambitious decarbonisation goals laid out in COP agreements.

In the #CCPI2025, for the first time, three countries—Norway, Sweden, and Denmark—achieved a “very high” rating in the Renewable Energy category. On the other hand, renewables make up only 1% of energy use in Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria. As the energy sector is a major contributor to countries’ GHG emissions, the Renewable Energy ratings highlight significant potential for more effective emission reductions through faster adoption of renewable energy sources. Overall, most CCPI countries show a positive trend in the Renewable Energy category.
