Electricity generation from renewables accounts for about 40% of the total renewable energy supply. For non-bioenergyrenewable sources, this share is as high as 80% with the remainder in the form of heat produced in solar thermal and geothermal installations.
Non-bioenergy renewables need to increase their share of total energy supply from close to 5% today to approximately 17% by 2030 in the NZE Scenario. To achieve this, annual renewable energy use must increase at an average rate of about 13% during 2023-2030, twice as much as the average over the past 5 years. Tracking Clean Energy Progress 2023
The expiry of incentives in key markets and the resulting policy uncertainties lead to a small decline in renewables capacity additions in 2022 in our main forecast. In China, onshore wind and solar PV subsidies expire this year, while offshore wind support ends in 2021.
Global climate imperatives are re-shaping energy sectors across the globe, presenting both challenges and opportunities for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. This report assesses countries’ access to renewables-based electric cooking to understand their current status and establish associated priorities to support the energy transition.
