Energy transition: 5 key lessons from COVID-19 recovery

The world has made important strides toward energy transition in the past decade. But 81% of the world s energy is still based on fossil fuels, according to the World Economic Forum s Energy Transition Index 2021. The COVID-19 recovery efforts offer five lessons to accelerate the energy transition in the next decade. The global energy transition has crossed many milestones over the past decade, surpassing most expectations. Thanks to technological innovation, entrepreneurship and risk-taking by policymakers and businesses, the installed capacity grew sevenfold for solar PV, and threefold for onshore wind since 2010. Once considered a pipedream, the share of renewable energy in the electricity mix is higher than fossil fuels in some countries. The last decade has also seen the number of people without access to modern forms of energy significantly decline.

Author: Luis Badesa, Research Associate, Imperial College London & Goran Strbac, Professor of Electrical Energy Systems, Imperial College London In early 2020, COVID-19 lockdowns led to reduced electricity demand around the world. In Great Britain, the majority of the demand was covered by renewables, but this generation mix temporarily compromised the stability of the grid. These insights into a future of decarbonized grids highlight the challenges we face but also how we might solve them.

Author: Douglas Broom, Senior Writer, Formative Content If online deliveries continue with fossil-fuel trucks, emissions will increase by a third. So cities in the Netherlands will allow only emission-free delivery vehicles after 2025. The government is giving delivery firms cash help to buy or lease electric vehicles. The bans will save 1 megaton of CO2 every year by 2030.
