G20

42% da eletricidade do G20 foram gerados a partir de fontes limpas no ano passado, acima da média global de 41%. Os países do G20 representaram 84% da demanda de eletricidade do mundo em 2024 e 92% da geração global de carvão. Desde 2015, a Indonésia ultrapassou a China e a Austrália e, em 2024, tornou -se o país com a terceira maior parcela da geração de carvão no G20. Na Alemanha e no Reino Unido, o vento e a energia solar juntos geraram 43% e 36% da eletricidade, respectivamente, em 2024. Em todo o G20, o vento representou 9% e solar por 8% da mistura de eletricidade. demanda.

The G20 (Group of Twenty) is a forum for the world’s largest economies. G20 countries accounted for 84% of the world’s electricity demand in 2024, and 92% of global coal generation.

South Africa has been the G20 country with the highest share of coal generation since 2015, followed by India. Since 2015, Indonesia has overtaken China and Australia, and in 2024 became the country with the third highest share of coal generation in the G20.

Most G20 countries have begun building wind and/or solar power at scale. In Germany and the UK, wind and solar together generated 43% and 36% of electricity respectively in 2024. Across the G20, wind accounted for 9% and solar for 8% of the electricity mix.

In terms of other clean power in the mix, hydro’s share in G20 electricity generation has fallen from 15% in 2015 to 13% in 2024, as hydro growth remains slow compared with the increase in electricity demand.

According to the IEA’s Net Zero Emissions scenario, OECD countries within the G20 must achieve net zero electricity sectors by 2035, and the remaining countries by 2045. The scale of progress required to meet this has now been agreed, with world leaders at the 2023 UN climate summit (COP28) committing to a global goal to triple renewable generation capacity and double the rate of energy efficiency improvements from 2022 levels by 2030.
