Gross power generation will almost double with renewable energy providing 85% of electricity. Renewable power generation capacity would grow by eight times from around 2000 GW to 16,000 GW, including 7122 GW solar PV and 5445 GW wind power. Annual capacity additions of these two would double and triple, respectively, compared to 2017.

Its death rate since 1965 is 1.3 deaths per TWh. This rate is almost completely dominated by one event: the Banqiao Dam Failure in China in 1975, which killed approximately 171,000 people. Otherwise, hydropower was very safe, with a death rate of just 0.04 deaths per TWh — comparable to nuclear, solar, and wind. Finally, we have solar and wind.
The world''s strongest economies still have work do with wind and solar generating 12 percent of U.S. electricity, along with 10 percent in China, India and Japan. Niall McCarthy

Wave Energy Scotland, a national technology development body backed by the Scottish government, has invested more than $52 million (£40 million) in almost 100 projects since it was set up in 2014. In Sweden, wave energy company CorPower Ocean says it has built the world''s largest wave energy test rig at its base in Stockholm.
After its generation in power plants, energy is lost as it travels through a country''s power infrastructure. Less energy is lost with larger high-voltage lines than with smaller, low-voltage lines (such as those in cities or individual buildings), so infrastructures with low population density generally have fewer losses.
Global CO 2 emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes1 rebounded in 2021 to reach their highest ever annual level. A 6% increase from 2020 pushed emissions to 36.3 gigatonnes (Gt), an estimate based on the IEA''s detailed region-by-region and fuel-by-fuel analysis, drawing on the latest official national data and publicly available energy, …
