A recent study by the International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that renewable energy will overtake coal as the largest source of electricity generation by 2025. The growth will be driven primarily by photovoltaic installations, particularly in India, China, and the United States.
Despite this shift, coal is expected to remain stable in the years 2022 and 2023. Alongside renewables, other sources such as nuclear power and gas will also contribute to the global electricity mix. The study further reveals that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will stagnate in 2022 and 2023, with a slight increase in 2024 and a decrease in 2025. This transition towards renewable energy is partly attributed to the increasing demand for electricity due to heatwaves and the rising use of air conditioning units.
The IEA findings emphasize the positive trajectory of renewable energy, signaling a shift in the global energy landscape. As renewable energy becomes the dominant player in electricity generation, it is clear that the world is transitioning towards a more sustainable future.
