While more effort is needed to reach that goal, one energy organization has predicted that renewables will overtake coal generation as the world’s largest electricity source in early 2025. Solar PV and wind account for 95 percent of the predicted 7,300 GW renewable expansion between 2023 and 2028. In the U.S.,

Renewables are expanding quickly but not enough to satisfy a strong rebound in global electricity demand this year, resulting in a sharp rise in the use of coal power that risks pushing carbon dioxide emissions from the electricity sector to record levels next year, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency.

The International Energy Agency estimates that demand may at least quadruple by 2040. Unconventional REE sources such as domestic coal and coal waste could yield the materials needed for the strong magnets necessary to turn wind into electricity and operate electric vehicles.

According to a statement last week from Italy’s grid operator, renewable energy overtook fossil fuels as the lead source of electricity generation in the first six months of the year. percent during the same period in 2023, while fossil fuels saw a 19-percent decrease year over year, and coal production dropped steeply by 77.3

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

Wind and solar are set to account for over 90% of global electricity expansion over the next five years, overtaking coal to become the largest source of global electricity by early 2025, according to “ Renewables 2022 ,” the latest edition of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) annual report on the renewable sector.

The results show there is no realistic pathway to full decarbonization of internal combustion engine vehicles, and that only battery and hydrogen fuel-cell EVs have potential to be very low-GHG passenger vehicle pathways. Based on stated policies, it accounts for changes in the carbon intensity during the useful lifetime of the vehicles.
