English: This chart displays data on global renewable energy production for the year 2023. It highlights the top renewable energy producers in each continent and the percentage of renewable energy generated by each type of source: hydroelectric, solar power, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass and other.
China produced 31% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (6.4%), Canada (5.4%) and India (3.9%). [1] Renewable investment reached almost $500 billion globally in 2022, [2] amounting to 83% of new electric capacity that year. [3] The renewable energy industry employs almost 14 million people. [4]
8 May 2024 (reported): Ember reported that for the first time, renewable energy generated a 30% of global electricity in 2023. [ 30 ] 28 August 2024: a study published in the journal Nature concluded that the June-September 2023 Canadian wildfires caused carbon emissions that exceeded annual fossil fuel emissions of all nations except India ...
Record growth in wind and solar last year pushed worldwide electricity generation to its cleanest-ever level, a report found, reflecting a renewable energy boom that researchers say could herald ...
In 2022, the total global photovoltaic capacity increased by 228 GW, with a 24% growth year-on-year of new installations. As a result, the total global capacity exceeded 1,185 GW by the end of the year. [9] Asia was the biggest installer of solar in 2022, with 60% of new capacity and 60% of total capacity.
The agreement also called for a tripling of global renewable energy capacity by 2030, [4] [75] the development of numerous "zero- and low-emission technologies", [4] further efforts "towards the phase-down of unabated coal power" [4] and a cut in methane emissions. [75]
The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) stated that ~86% (187 GW) of renewable capacity added in 2022 had lower costs than electricity generated from fossil fuels. [172] IRENA also stated that capacity added since 2000 reduced electricity bills in 2022 by at least $520 billion, and that in non-OECD countries, the lifetime savings of ...
The annual World Energy Outlook (WEO) is the International Energy Agency's (IEA) flagship publication on global energy projections and analysis. [1] It contains medium to long-term energy market projections, extensive statistics, analysis and advice for both governments and the energy business regarding energy security, environmental protection and economic development.
