The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

The global geothermal industry surpassed 12,000 MW of geothermal power operational, with about 600 MW of new geothermal power coming online globally, according to a year-end update by the Geothermal Energy Association (GEA). In Nevada, NV Energy is looking to replace coal plants with 300 MW of renewable energy, including geothermal.

If global warming continues unabated, and if the world veers toward catastrophe, it would be better to have tools ready to avoid the most dire outcomes, he says. Solar geoengineering could be a “painkiller” for the planet—not a substitute for curbing emissions, but a balm that makes life on Earth more bearable in a sweltering future.

Renewable energy was the main source of energy before the discovery of oil, coal, and natural gas. In 2019, around 11% of global primary energy came from renewable technologies. Iceland, Norway, Canada, Sweden, New Zealand, and Austria were the global leaders in hydroelectric as of 2019. power generation.
