Energy Supply 2015
What initiatives, policies and technologies can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation?
Fossil fuels constitute the largest share of the world’s total primary energy supply today. Fossil fuels are also the most consumed fuel type for electricity generation worldwide. As a result of this, the electricity generation sector is the world’s single largest emitter of greenhouse gases (GHGs). Globally, policy efforts are being made to increase and improve access to electricity supply. Given the electricity generation sector’s reliance on fossil fuels, this increase has also led to significant GHG emissions growth. How can we most effectively minimize emissions from electricity generation around the world, while still enabling the sector’s growth?
