Nagpur: While the panel between the latest governments about climate change (IPCC) reported ringing the death bells for coal and fossil fuels’ before they destroyed our planet, research showed that instead of decline, global emissions from the electricity sector had increased by 5% to continue Depending on fossil fuels.
The latest reports released by the bucket, a London-based research organization that tracks coal to clean the transition in the electricity sector, revealed that while the majority of global electricity demand growth was filled with renewable energy (57%), around 43% was fulfilled by coal.
“For the first time, the wind and the sun produces more than a tenth of global electricity and overtakes nuclear generation,” added a report, which analyzed electrical data from 63 countries representing 87% of electrical demand.
On the brighter side, almost three-quarters (72%) increase in Indian demand is filled with sun growth (+ 47%) and wind (+ 9%).
However, on a darker front, coal generation increased by 4%, to fill the remaining slit in demand and also to fill the reduced hydroelectric generation, the report stated.
“The advanced impact of the pandemic in the first half of this year made electricity demand in muted countries and coal rises at a minimum.
The demand for electricity in the first half of this year 2021 is only 3% higher than the first half of 2019,” Report added.
While many countries promised to encourage their economy to be a new normal green, the analysis shows that no country has reached ‘green recovery’ which is truly ‘green recovery’ for their electricity sector, with structural changes in the demand for higher electricity sectors and emissions CO2 sector.
“Countries with increasing electricity demand also see higher emissions, because coal generation increases and winds and sun.
The countries ‘gray recovery’ are mostly in Asia, including China, Bangladesh, India, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Pakistan and Vietnam.
These countries have not separated emissions and electrical demand growth, “the report said.
“Ketaplat emissions in 2021 must send alarm bells around the world,” said the Global Lead Dave Jones bucket.
“We did not rebuild better, we rebuilt badly.
Fast electricity transitions in the decade are very important to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees.
The electrical transition is happening but not with the urgency needed: emissions are in the direction wrong.
“Highlights that developing countries can jump over fossils and move directly to cheap and clean renewable energy, senior bucket analysts say,” developing Asia must focus on meeting all new demand growth with the first first step of the trip to 100% clean electricity Before the mid-century.
But this depends on whether the area can further accelerate clean electric marches that are inevitable while at the same time using electricity more efficiently.
