全球电力年中洞察 2022 年上半年

In the first half of 2022, global renewable energy growth met all new electricity demand, preventing a rise in fossil fuel generation. Wind and solar energy specifically met 77% of this new demand, avoiding $40 billion in fuel costs and 230 million tonnes of CO2 emissions. However, the report notes that severe droughts in China and global heatwaves in July and August 2022 led to a resurgence in coal and gas use, meaning total electricity sector emissions for the full year 2022 could still reach record highs.

• Renewable energy growth fully covered the 3% increase in global electricity demand during the first half of 2022, which effectively stalled the growth of fossil fuel generation.
• Wind and solar energy were the primary drivers of this transition, meeting 77% of new global demand. Their growth avoided a 4% increase in fossil fuel generation, saving $40 billion in fuel costs and preventing 230 million tonnes of CO2 emissions in the first half of the year.
• In the EU, a significant drop in hydropower and nuclear power (down 25% and 12% respectively) led to a temporary increase in coal generation to fill the supply gap.
• Despite the first-half progress, global electricity sector emissions may still hit record highs in 2022 due to increased coal and gas generation in July and August, driven by droughts in China's Sichuan province and global heatwaves.
