Because greater renewable energy use would reinforce energy security by reducing energy imports (at the same time as cutting GHG emissions), the government has made renewables development an energy sector …
The UK''s CO2 emissions peaked in the year 1973 and have declined by around 38% since 1990, faster than any other major developed country. Here, Carbon Brief presents detailed analysis of the reasons behind the decline in UK CO2 since 1990. The most significant factors include a cleaner electricity mix based on gas and renewables …
Belarus: Carbon intensity: how much carbon does it emit per unit of energy? Click to open interactive version Energy intensity – shown in the chart above – is one important metric to monitor whether countries are making progress in reducing emissions.
China''s CO2 emissions continued to increase in 2023. According to preliminary official data, China''s total energy consumption increased by 5.7% in 2023, the first time since at least 2005 that energy demand has grown faster than GDP..
