Bathinda: As per updated report to its Net Zero Roadmap published by International Energy Agency on Tuesday, the path to 1.5 ̊C has narrowed, but clean energy growth is keeping it open. As per the roadmap, there is no need for investment in new coal, oil and natural gas.
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the energy sector reached a new record high of 37 billion tonnes (Gt) in 2022, 1% above their pre-pandemic level, but are set to peak this decade.
The speed of the roll-out of key clean energy technologies means that the IEA now projects that demand for coal, oil and natural gas will all peak this decade even without any new climate policies.
