BloombergNEF: clean energy investment in developing nations slumps as financing in China slows; coal burn surges to record high

Green Car Congress

NOVEMBER 26, 2019

New investment in wind, solar, and other clean energy projects in developing nations dropped sharply in 2018, largely due to a slowdown in China. This is due to wind and solar projects generating only when natural resources are available while oil, coal, and gas plants can potentially produce around the clock. thousand in 2017.

Renewables to overtake coal as largest global electricity source in 2025

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.
