According to data released by the International Energy Agency (IEA), energy-related global CO2 emissions stopped growing
in 2019.
After two years of growth, global emissions remained at 33 billion tonnes
in 2019, even though the world economy grew by 2.
9%.
The Paris-based organization said this was largely due to falling emissions from electricity generation in advanced economies, thanks to the expanding role of renewables, mainly wind and solar, the switch of fuel from coal to natural gas and higher nuclear power generation
.
Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, said: "We must now work to ensure that 2019 is recorded as a definitive peak in global emissions and not just another pause
in growth.
”
Advanced economies, especially Japan and South Korea, have avoided more than 50 tonnes of CO2 emissions
with higher nuclear power generation.
Other factors include mild weather in several countries and slowing
growth in some emerging markets.
In China, emissions have increased, but have been dampened
by slower economic growth and increased low-carbon electricity output.
Renewables continue to expand in China, and 2019 was also the first year
of operation of the country's seven large nuclear reactors.
Emissions in advanced economies decreased significantly in 2019, offsetting continued growth
elsewhere.
From a national perspective, the United States saw the largest drop in emissions, falling by 140 million tons, or 2.
9 percent
.
In addition, emissions in the EU decreased by 160 million tons, or 5%, in 2019, due to a reduction in the power sector
.
Japan's emissions fell by 45 million tons, or about 4 percent, as a result of increased production from recently restarted nuclear reactors, the fastest rate of decline since 2009
.
In 2019, emissions from the rest of the world grew by almost 400 million tonnes, with nearly 80% of emissions coming from Asian countries, where coal-fired power generation continued to grow
.
Coal-fired power generation in advanced economies fell by nearly 15 percent due to the growth of renewable energy, the conversion of coal-to-natural gas, the growth of nuclear power, and weak demand for electricity
.
In June, the IEA will release its World Energy Outlook Special Report, which will map out how to reduce energy-related global carbon emissions by one-third by 2030 and bring the world on track for long-term climate goals
.
It will also hold the IEA Clean Energy Transition Summit
in Paris on July 9.
