I en ny rapport konkluderer Det Internationale Energiagentur (IEA), at efterspørgsel for olie, kul og gas vil toppe før 2030 under nuværende politik. Det er første gang, at IEA i en rapport meddeler, at efterspørgslen vil toppe i dette årti.
Ifølge IEA’s beregninger er andelen af fossile brændsler i den globale energiforsyning begyndt at falde og forventes at ende på 73% i 2030. Andelen af fossile brændsler i den globale energiforsyning har ellers været omkring 80% i årtier.
Fatih Birol, IEA Executive Director, udtaler:“The transition to clean energy is happening worldwide and it’s unstoppable. It’s not a question of ‘if’, it’s just a matter of ‘how soon’ – and the sooner the better for all of us. Governments, companies and investors need to get behind clean energy transitions rather than hindering them. There are immense benefits on offer, including new industrial opportunities and jobs, greater energy security, cleaner air, universal energy access and a safer climate for everyone. Taking into account the ongoing strains and volatility in traditional energy markets today, claims that oil and gas represent safe or secure choices for the world’s energy and climate future look weaker than ever.”
