The world’s energy mix is changing – and fast.
A recent report from the World Energy Council found that renewable sources of power now represent around 30 percent of the world’s total capacity and 23 percent of total global electricity production.
The WEC added that in the last 10 years, wind and solar power had seen “explosive average annual growth” of 23 percent and 50 percent.
Fossil fuels remain key to powering the planet, however, and as concerns over climate change and energy security mount, the question of what our planet’s energy mix will look like in 2050 is becoming increasingly pressing.
