Record Renewables Growth In 2022 Did Nothing To Lower Fossil Fuels Dominance At 82% Of Supply

From Reuters, "Renewables growth did not dent fossil fuel dominance in 2022, report says" by Shadia Nasralla; editing by Philippa Fletcher:

Global energy demand rose 1% last year and record renewables growth did nothing to shift the dominance of fossil fuels, which still accounted for 82% of supply, the industry's Statistical Review of World Energy report said on Monday [Weblink added]. *** The stubborn lead of oil, gas and coal products in covering most energy demand cemented itself in 2022 despite the largest ever increase in renewables capacity at a combined 266 gigawatts, with solar leading wind power growth, the report said.

"Despite further strong growth in wind and solar in the power sector, overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again," said the president of the UK-based global industry body Energy Institute, Juliet Davenport.
