The pandemic in 2020 triggered the largest annual drop in global energy-related carbon emissions – about a 6% decline
However, emissions ”rebounded” strongly and rose above 2019 levels in December 2020
Global emissions were 2% (60mT) higher in December 2020 than they were in December 2019

Wind and Solar Dominate Renewable Growth*
Case Study on “Off the Grid” in Africa
Electricity growth will be primarily in developing countries
Renewables will continue to dominate the growth agenda
Carbon reduction commitments are increasing
Carbon remains a significant issuein developing countries
Nuclear power is increasing its role outside the U.S.
The role of natural gas will increase, as coal generation is reduced
Technological advances will be essential to improve costs and efficiencies
The “new grid” and cyber security will play an important role
