A new report by independent climate think tank Ember shows that wind turbines and solar panels generated a record 10% of electricity in the first half of 2020 due to a decline in coal-fired power generation, but more changes
are needed to meet the goals set out in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
Scientists say greenhouse gas emissions from the power sector need to be drastically cut over the next decade to limit global warming and curb the effects of
climate change such as floods, droughts and species loss.
Ember reported that wind and solar power generation increased by 14% in the first half of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, while electricity generation from coal-fired power plants fell by 8.
3%.
Total electricity demand fell by 3%
in the first half of the year due to lockdown measures imposed to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
Still, coal-fired power plants produced 33% of the world's electricity
during this period.
Dave Jones, senior analyst at Ember, said in a note: "To keep climate change below 1.
5 degrees, coal power generation needs to decline by 13%
per year over the next decade.
”
In the first half of this year, wind and solar energy in Europe and the United Kingdom contributed the most, with 21% and 33%
respectively.
Wind and solar power contributed 10% in China and 12%
in the United States.
Ember's report brings together data from 48 countries, which account for 83% of
global electricity production.
