Hernieuwbare energie verviervoudigd op 10 jaar, volgens laatste UN-rapport 2019.
Zonnepanelen en windturbines worden goedkoper in die decade met repectievelijk -81% en -46% (onshore).
Maar toch stegen de wereldwijde emissies van de energiesector ca. 10%.
"Dus we gaan de goede kant op, maar we moeten de vaart erin houden."
Citaat:
According to the United Nations’ “Global Trends in Renewable Energy Investment 2019” report, “Global investment in new renewable energy capacity over this decade — 2010 to 2019 inclusive — is on course to hit USD $2.6 trillion, with more gigawatts of solar power capacity installed than any other generation technology.”
This investment will have nearly quadrupled renewable energy capacity (excluding large hydro) from 414 GW at the end of 2009 to just over 1,650 GW by the end of 2019.
Solar power will have drawn half — USD $1.3 trillion — of the USD $2.6 trillion in renewable energy capacity investments made over the decade. Solar alone will have grown from 25 GW at the beginning of 2010 to an expected 663 GW by the close of 2019 — enough to produce all the electricity needed each year by about 100 million average homes in the US.
The global share of electricity generation accounted for by renewables reached 12.9%, in 2018, up from 11.6% in 2017.
And costs have come down, too: “The levelized cost of electricity (a measure that allows comparison of different methods of electricity generation on a consistent basis) is down 81% for solar photovoltaics since 2009; that for onshore wind is down 46%.”
However, global power sector emissions have risen about 10% over this period. So we’re heading in the right direction, but we have to keep up the momentum.
