The concept between climate change and regular energy – high temperature, high consumption and high heat – about the experts of the International Energy System. They say that the solution passes the renewable.
Recent report of the International Energy Organization (IE) Reveals the rise of the temperature A strong contribution The world consumption of electricity has increased In the last year. Extreme heat waves eliminated the demand for refrigeration in many countries, which increased the increase in industry consumption, transport electrification and the growth of data centers And artificial intelligence.
These factors, consuming more energy and promoted An increase of 2.2% of energy demand last year. “There are many uncertainties and different stories about energy in today’s world,” says Fati Berol, Managing Director of IEA. “That’s certain The use of electricity It is growing rapidly, decreasing energy consumption in advanced economies. “
“As a result, he continues,” the demand for all major fuels and energy technologies increased by 2024, which includes most of the growth, followed by natural gas. And the strong expansion of the solar, air, atomic and electricity is more relaxing the contacts between economic growth and emitters, ”says Berol.
How does climate change increase emission?
The feedback ring between the temperature and the emission is a concern trend collected by the IEA’s global energy report by 2025. Strong Heat Waves in China and India –They triggered cooling requirements–Contributed to more than one 90% per year increase in coal consumption In the world.
The worldwide record temperature has significantly contributed to a 0.8% increase in CO2 world emissions up to 37.8 billion tonnes. But solar and wind power, atomic, electric cars and Heat pump Since 2019 Avoid 2.6 billion tonne CO2 each yearAccording to IEA. This is equivalent to 7% of world emissions.
There is another good news in the report: the growing offer of low emission sources Includes most of the increase in an increase The world is needed for electricity by 2024. The size of the new renewable energy capacity established worldwide was about 700 gigawatts last year.
What is energy panorama in Europe?
The Renewable Energy Revolution In Europe it continues at a good speed. The wind and the sun reached a record role 28% In last year’s electricity production, the first time coal and gas won the integrated quota.
Overall, renewable is almost 50% of electricity generation. After the severe drought of 2023, more rainfall than average contributed to the electric generation to increase the electric generation. But BadAir conditions In Europe, they increased the use of fossil fuels in the electric field.
In general, the demand for energy in the EU has begun to grow again for the first time since 2017 (except for regeneration after 2021), and its energy -related CO2 emissions fell 2.2%. “Oil and growing world need from recession View Electric cars.
