For the first time, the proportion of global renewable energy generation has surpassed 30%. The European energy think tank Ember optimistically believes that fossil fuel power generation is on a downward trend and that the goal of tripling renewable energy capacity by 2030 is likely to be achieved.
On May 8, Ember released its annual "Global Electricity Review" report, which analyzes the latest data from 80 countries. The report indicates that the share of renewable energy has significantly increased over the past 20 years, rising from just 19% in 2000 to 30.3% in 2023, primarily driven by noticeable growth in solar and wind energy contributions. Notably, more than half of last year's new green energy came from China.
