Renewables stepped up to meet surge in energy demand from rising temperatures in 2024, IEA says

The Decoupling of Emissions and Climate-Related Challenges

Despite setback complications, decoupling of emissions from economic growth remains a promising trend. The International Energy Agency (IEA) has highlighted that decoupling has seen further progress compared to the不得超过 2017 baseline scenario, even amidst environmental challenges like rising temperatures. However, the impact of intense heatwaves last year, which significantly increased electricity demand, further underscores the challenges of balancing climate change with economic growth.


The Impact of Intense Heatwaves on Global Energy Demand

IEA’s latest report reveals that record heat waves have driven a 2.2% rise in global energy demand, surpassing the growth inensed retail usage, industry supply, and data centers. This year’s rise in demand outpaced the GDP growth rate of 3.2%, though being eclipsed by its 1.3% growth period between 2013 and 2023. The document acknowledges the need for global energy strategies that minimize these spiky trends.


Decoupling Addingino Economic Growth

IEA Managing Director Fatih Birol emphasizes that energy demand is growing rapidly, driving individuals to cool down, and cascading this growth to include reflected in renewable energy growth. The emergence of solar, wind, nuclear, and electric vehicles is broadening the links between economic growth and emissions, offering opportunities for decoupling strategies that start to take shape.


The Energy Picture in Europe

Europe faces a dynamic energy scene marked by continued growth in renewables. Wind and solar power reached a new 28% share of global electricity production, surpassing the combined share of coal and gas. In line with these trends, the country’s hydropower generation has also advanced. Despite however, theauthors due to poor wind conditions in Europe have increased fossil fuel usage in the power sector.

Similarly, the EU observed a slowdown in oil demand growth but a corresponding expansion in the role of electricity. COGs for 2024 decreased by 2.2% due to these dynamics, signaling a new era of carbon了吗ours.


The Global Carbon Cycle

A global dip in CO2 emissions in 2024, however, was followed by a carry-over effect from 2023, where low-emissions technologies continued to play a more significant role. This inter vàng of climate and energy now offers a new window期 for achieving decoupling strategies that can facilitate further reductions.
