While that increase could have been much larger at possibly one billion tonnes with countries’ coal demand surging as gas prices soared due to the war in Ukraine, deployment of renewable energy and EVs have kept a lid on the rise in emissions. “The global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted a scramble by many countries to use other energy sources to replace the natural gas supplies that Russia has withheld from the market,” said IEA executive director Fatih Birol.Article content
“The encouraging news is that solar and wind are filling much of the gap, with the uptick in coal appearing to be relatively small and temporary,” he added. The report said solar photovoltaic and wind were leading an increase in global renewable electricity generation of more than 700 terawatt hours , the largest annual rise on record. Without this increase, global CO2 emissions would have been more than 600 million tonnes higher this year.
