“Strong expansion” of renewable energies and electric vehicles, most global CO2 emissions “only” this will grow 1 percent in 2022, Despite the global energy crisis, which is pushing countries to burn more coal instead of gas, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced in Paris.
Emissions from fossil fuels will increase by about 1 percent this yearis just a fraction of last year’s increase. An IEA analysis of the latest global data showed that CO2 emissions could rise from 300 million tonnes to 338 billion tonnes by 2022.
Again, the figure is much lower than the jump of close to 2,000 million tons recorded in 2021This was due to the rapid global recovery after the coronavirus pandemic. This year’s increase is due to the recovery of electricity generation and the post-pandemic aviation sector.
The IEA estimates that in 2022, demand for oil will increase more than any other fossil fuel, with an increase in CO2 emissions of approximately 180 million tonnes. This is mainly due to transportation restrictions due to the public sector and the pandemic that has already been lifted. Around Three-quarters of this increase in oil emissions is expected to come from aviation.
“The global energy crisis that emerged with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused many countries to use other energy sources to replace the natural gas demand that Russia withheld from the market,” said Fatih Birol, IEA Director. .
think in this sense Encouragingly, solar and wind power fills some of this gap, while increased coal use suggests it will be relatively small and temporary.
“This means that CO2 emissions are growing slower this year than some fear and underlined that the political actions of governments have achieved real structural changes in the energy economy.
