17/06/2022 (Agence Europe) – The share of renewable energy in global energy consumption is stagnating despite a record increase in production capacity, says a report by the international network REN21 published on 15 June. The organisation has deplored the lack of a real “green recovery” post-Covid-19. “Although many more governments committed to net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, the reality is that, in response to the energy crisis, most countries have gone back to seeking out new sources of fossil fuels”, explained Rana Adib, executive director of REN21. With contributions from more than 650 experts, the report illustrates that the share of renewable energy in global final energy consumption has increased from 8.7% in 2009 to 11.7% in 2019.
