Let this sink in: In 2018, Big Oil spent less than 1% of its combined budget on green energy projects. ENI also says that its renewable projects will achieve an installed capacity of 3 GW in 2023 and 5 GW in 2025. Further, natural gas can be used to keep the power grid stable as solar and wind power fluctuate.

And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. The 124-megawatt solar plant adjacent to Korea Zinc’s Townsville refinery, completed in 2018, cut a quarter of the coal-heavy grid power it had been using to run its power-intensive electrolytic process.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

For instance, just 8 percent of Indian homes had air-conditioning in 2018, but that share is. While electricity from older coal plants in India costs 2.7 cents per kilowatt-hour, and wind power to 3.4 As renewable energy has steadily gotten cheaper, the installed capacity has grown, to 110 gigawatts.
