[EN VIDÉO] COP25: the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere over 15 years Using data collected on Earth and from space, NASA has compiled the increase…
The latest report of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the energy sectorenergy produced by Energy Institute is not positive. It reveals a further increase in these emissions emissions in 2022. Around 0.8%. This may seem low, but remember that emissions from the energy sector account for almost 90% of our total emissions.
Admittedly, the results underline that there have never been so many solar and wind capacities installed in the world. As a result, these renewable energies produced 12% of our electricity. A record, too. But 82% of our consumption is still satisfied by fossil fuels. The demand for coal, in particular, had not been so high since 2014. At the same time, overall demand also increased. By 1.1% compared to 2021.
Experts already fear that this demand, moreover, will continue to increase. Now that China seems to have ended Covid restrictions for good. Above all, they fear that these new demands will “derail” the objectives set by the Paris Climate Agreement. As a reminder, the Agreement in question stipulates that our CO2 emissions must be halved by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050!
