Renewable electricity growth is accelerating faster than ever worldwide, supporting the emergence of the new global energy economy

Stronger policies and raised climate goals leading into COP26 are driving renewables to new records, but faster deployment across all key sectors is needed to reach net zero. Key Words: Renewable, Climate Change, generate electricity

Tracking Power 2021

Emissions from the power sector (from both electricity and heat production) declined almost 3% in 2020, or 0.4 Gt CO2, the largest-ever decline, while emissions intensity decreased 2.8%. These trends result from reduced electricity demand during the Covid-19 pandemic and a record share of renewables in total generation (29%) in 2020. Electricity demand is expected to increase in 2021 as economic activity rebounds and major emerging economies expand rapidly. This sector’s transformation is critical to clean energy transitions, as power generation accounts for 40% of energy-related CO2 emissions and electricity is increasingly being used to meet end-use energy demand.

Work from Home Models Predicted to Cause 34.3 Million Tons of Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Remote work is more environmentally friendly than working in an office. Benefits include greenhouse gas reductions particularly in relation to commuter transport. Additionally, when employers offer remote work options, they experience a better reputation, boosted customer loyalty, and have happier, healthier employees. Key Word: work from home, greenhouse gas, ghg

RUN Webinar: Integrating Inverter-based Renewable Generation into Low Inertia Power Systems

Capacity Building: Introduction to REmap Tool

This is the seventh session of a series which introduces one of the tools for energy and CO2 Modelling developed by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)’s REmap programme - IRENA REmap. The Excel® based REmap tool as well as the FlexTool allows IRENA’s analysts and national experts to evaluate and create a country-level analysis to assess renewable energy technology options on sector level. The tool provides a simplified but dynamic accounting framework to create and evaluate energy system developments and costs at sector (power, transport, industry, buildings) and technology level. It primarily provides renewable energy scenario analysis and has...
