Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels to rise by less than 1% this year as renewables and EVs take off
Thanks to the record-high growth of solar and winder power along with increasing EVs in China and Europe, this year’s CO2 emissions are not going to rise more than 1%, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). In fact, despite the surging use of coal to fill the natural gas shortage in Europe because of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, EU emissions will decrease this year. That’s good news. But the bad news is that this year’s CO2 emission increase is coming from the aviation sector, which still hasn’t rebounded from the Covid-19 pandemic yet. When the industry fully recovers and resumes to grow as had been like before the pandemic, will the world be able to offset the increased CO2 emissions with renewable energies? The good news may not be as good as it sounds.
Enjoy reading the article and learning about this year’s global CO2 emissions.
