IEA: Spridningen av fri energi kommer möta ökad efterfrågan på elektricitet
Vad händer
Kontext
”electricity generated from fossil fuels is expected to decline over the next two years. Electricity generated from oil is projected to fall significantly, while coal-fired generation will slightly decline in 2023 and 2024, after rising 1.7% in 2022.”
“And we’re encouraged to see renewables accounting for a rising share of electricity generation, resulting in declines in the use of fossil fuels for power generation.”
Global electricity generation by source, 2014-2024
Vad har det för betydelse
After rebounding strongly in 2021 when they grew by 7%, global emissions from electricity generation increased by just 1.3% in 2022. And as electricity generation from fossil fuels shrinks, we expect emissions to record slight declines around 1% both in 2023 and in 2024. Falling coal-fired generation is the main driver of this decline, with a drop in total CO2 emissions of about 140 Mt over the period out to 2024. Oil follows with a decrease of 100 Mt. Total change in emissions from gas- fired generation out to 2024 is expected to be close to zero, as slight increases in 2023 are expected to be offset by declines in 2024.
