Renewables still can’t meet the increase in electricity demand

Renewables are not expanding quickly enough to meet the global electricity demand. In fact, renewables only meet around 50% of power requirements in 2021. Unfortunately, fossil fuels, notably coal, have to satisfy the remaining half. Consequently, the power sector is set to produce record levels of CO2 next year, severely threatening global emission targets.
