U.S. renewable energy consumption totaled 924 trillion British thermal units (Btu), which accounted for 12% of U.S. total primary energy consumption.

The European Commission’s “green deal” policy package, which was announced in December, will commit the European Union to achieve climate neutrality, emitting no more greenhouse gases beyond what can be absorbed, by 2050.

Australia added 6.3 GW of new renewable capacity in 2019, against 4.8 GW in 2018

Renewables only accounted for 18.2% of total energy generated by November 2019, while coal alone produced 23.4% of the country’s electricity.

"We are ready to move to the next phase of implementing Europe's first large-scale hydrogen plant," Nouryon's head of industrial chemicals, Knut Schwalenberg, said.

The oil and gas industry now needs to make clear what clean energy transitions mean for it – and what it can do to accelerate clean energy transitions.

global electric power generation from renewable sources will increase more than 20% throughout the projection period (2018–2050), providing almost half of the world’s electricity generation in 2050. In that same period, global coal-fired generation will decrease 13%, representing only 22% of the generation mix in 2050.

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) signed today, a strategic framework agreement with Italy’s energy company, Eni, to explore new opportunities for collaboration in carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS), where ADNOC is an industry leader, and additional strategic opportunities in research and development (R&D) across the oil and gas value chain.

Academics and concerned citizens often ask "how long" will it take for the global economy to transition to zero carbon energy systems in the transportation, electric generation and heavy industry sectors.

a sharp rise in the Germany’s renewable generation capacity was needed over the next 15 years to meet demand from the electrification of heating, transport and other industries.

A “clean energy resource” is defined as “any technology used to generate electricity without emitting carbon dioxide into the atmosphere,” including “(i) electric generation facilities that are powered by nuclear, solar, wind, falling water, wave motion, tides, or geothermal power; (ii) a natural gas-fired generation facility with 80 percent carbon capture; or (iii) a coal-fired generation facility with 90 percent carbon capture.”

Solar and wind power use has grown at a rapid rate over the past decade or so, but as of 2018 those sources accounted for less than 4% of all the energy used in the U.S.

To date, the EBRD has signed €34 billion in green investments, financed over 1900 green projects that are expected to reduce 102 million tonnes of carbon emissions yearly. In 2019 alone, the Bank financed over 2.2 GW of new renewable power capacity.

Hydrogen will be part of Turkey's short and long-term goals to ensure the security of energy supply, Dönmez said.

The share of renewables in global power should more than double by 2030 to advance the global energy transformation, achieve sustainable development goals and a pathway to climate safety, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)
