Doubling the share of renewables in the global energy mix by 2030 can save up to US$4.2 trillion annually by 2030—15 times more than the costs— according to a new report by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Under existing national plans, the global renewables share would only reach 21% by 2030.
