Renewables help offset rise in coal emissions, IEA says
PARIS: A jump in renewables and efficiency efforts helped blunt a feared runaway in carbon emissions growth from a surge in coal use last year due to the global energy crisis, the IEA said on Thursday , even if CO2 emissions hit a new record.
"Without clean energy, the growth in CO2 emissions would have been nearly three times as high," he added. Russia's sharp cutback in natural gas deliveries to Europe last year following international sanctions over Moscow's invasion of Ukraine triggered a global energy crisis. Nevertheless, emissions growth still exceeded by far the average growth rate of coal emissions during the past decade, and more than offset the 1.6 per cent drop in emissions from lower natural gas consumption.
But excluding China, emissions from emerging and developing economies in Asia increased 4.2 per cent due to their rapid economic growth and rising demand for energy.
