The New bp Statistical Review of World Energy — What Does It Mean?

CleanTechnica EVs

JULY 22, 2022

The bp Statistical Review of World Energy is a venerable survey of the world’s energy production and consumption — the oil giant has been publishing it yearly since 1952. It’s an extremely detailed report — it lists the amounts of energy generated and consumed, as well as the means of generation, for just about every country […].

Tesla has a new Megapack production facility in Lathrop, California, and via a post shared on Instagram, the company shared some impressive statistics. This simple process has allowed for some remarkable achievements, including the State of Hawaii finally being able to ditch coal power earlier this year.

Emissions from this sector declined 18% in 2016, reflecting continued growth in renewable energy—such as solar, wind and geothermal—as a result of the state’s Renewables Portfolio Standard, and a corresponding drop in natural gas generation. Electricity generation had the largest decline among the sectors.

Analysts at the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) have developed harmonized meta-analyses of lifecycle greenhouse-gas emissions from coal, wind, solar and other energy technologies. Also helping with the findings were subcontractors and researchers from the DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Between 2010 to 2030 the contribution to energy growth of renewables (solar, wind, geothermal and biofuels) is seen to increase from 5% to 18%. Natural gas is projected to be the fastest growing fossil fuel, and coal and oil are likely to lose market share as all fossil fuels experience lower growth rates. Coal will increase by 1.2%

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. The electrical grid also supports the efficient distribution of power and makes use of energy generated through renewable means like wind and solar.

In addition, degradation and related statistics from automotive service should be quantified and shared.
