🌿 EU's Green Energy Milestone: A Leap Towards Sustainability 🌿 Exciting times for the EU's energy sector! In 2024, renewables have reached a significant milestone, accounting for over 50% of the total electricity generated. This marks a substantial increase from 41.2% in 2022. The combined efforts in solar and wind power have propelled this green transformation, making the EU's power mix the greenest it's ever been. A key driver of this achievement is the addition of 56 gigawatts of new solar power capacity in 2023, the highest in any year to date. This significant investment underscores our commitment to a sustainable future. As we continue to support and invest in renewable energy, these achievements highlight the incredible progress we've made towards a sustainable future. Let's keep pushing the boundaries for a greener, cleaner planet! 🌍💡 Source: https://lnkd.in/ei7uPecA #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #GreenEnergy #ClimateAction #EU

The Race to Renewable Energy: Can We Meet Net-Zero by 2050?   Renewable energy is advancing faster than ever, with solar and wind power leading the charge. By 2030, the world is expected to add over 5,500 gigawatts (GW) of capacity—nearly triple the growth seen in recent years. But challenges remain: outdated power grids, financial pressures on manufacturers, and a lack of investment in clean energy in emerging markets are slowing progress.   While developed nations are making significant strides towards decarbonisation, emerging markets are falling behind, with CO2 emissions continuing to rise.   The question remains: can we accelerate the transition to achieve the ambitious net-zero goals by 2050?   Read more about the progress and challenges facing the global renewable energy race and what we need to do next: https://lnkd.in/d4yiiq9k   #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #SolarEnergy #WindPower #Decarbonisation #Sustainability #ClimateAction #EnergyTransition #EmergingMarkets #SustainableDevelopment #CleanEnergy

🌍⚡️ The Global South Could Be a Renewable PowerHouse ⚡️🌍 New research from RMI debunks the myth that the Global South lags in cleantech adoption! In the ''Powering Up the Global South'' report, RMI shows that countries across the Global South are not only adopting clean technology rapidly but are on a path to accelerate even more. With 60% of the global population but only 20% of fossil fuel production, the Global South is now a net importer of fossil fuels. But here's the kicker—these nations are rich in renewables, holding 70% of global renewable potential! 📌 The numbers speak volumes: - In 2024, 87% of capital expenditures on electricity generation will go into clean energy. - Solar and wind power have been growing at an average of 23% annually over the past five years, now supplying 9% of the Global South's electricity. - One-fifth of these nations have already surpassed the Global North in the share of solar and wind in electricity generation!

🌍☀️ 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
