Renewable energy sources generated more electricity than gas in the UK this winter, according to new analysis.
“With or without new licences, the North Sea will continue its inevitable decline so we’ll need to import ever greater quantities of gas from abroad unless we cut our demand by rolling out more renewables,” said Jess Ralston, the head of energy at ECIU.
“In this decisive decade for the climate, it is the beginning of the end of the fossil age,” Małgorzata Wiatros-Motyka, a senior electricity analyst at Ember, said at the time.
The stage is set for wind and solar to achieve a meteoric rise to the top.
Electricity is the highest emitting sector of carbon dioxide globally, making it a major focus for meeting climate targets.
“There are still some big hurdles to overcome, including the difficult global macroeconomic environment,” said Faith Birol, IEA’s executive director.
