CO2 Emissions in 2023 – Analysis
CO 2 Emissions in 2023 provides a complete picture of energy-related emissions in 2023. The report finds that clean energy growth has limited the rise in global emissions, with 2023 registering an increase of 1.1%. Weather effects and continued Covid-19 reopening played a significant role in driving emissions in 2023.
Five ways to jump-start the renewable energy transition now
Nationally Determined Contributions, countries'' individual climate action plans to cut emissions and adapt to climate impacts, must set 1.5C aligned renewable energy targets - and the share of
Latest North Carolina plan to reduce carbon emissions pushes
16 hours ago· Clean energy advocates say the revised Carbon Plan moves away from fossil fuels too slowly. The plan also pushes back a state goal to reduce emissions by 70% by 2030.

Environmental Impacts of Clean Energy
Overall, clean energy is considered better for the environment than traditional fossil-fuel–based resources, generally resulting in less air and water pollution than combustible fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum oil. Power generated by renewable sources, such as wind, water, and sunlight, does not produce harmful carbon dioxide emissions that lead to climate change,
Massachusetts Clean Energy and Climate Metrics | Mass.gov
The dashboard below presents Massachusetts'' gross GHG emissions for the years 1990-2020. The total emissions for each year are broken down into nine sectors: residential fuel combustion, commercial fuel combustion, industrial fuel combustion, electric power, transportation, natural gas systems, industrial processes, agriculture, and waste.
Clean Energy Strategy to Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2050
The Japanese government issued an interim report on its "Clean Energy Strategy" in May. While aiming to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality by 2050 and a 46% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in fiscal 2030, further growth will be achieved by ensuring a stable and affordable energy supply for the future.
Net Zero by 2050 – Analysis
The number of countries announcing pledges to achieve net zero emissions over the coming decades continues to grow. But the pledges by governments to date – even if fully achieved – fall well short of what is required to bring global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions to net zero by 2050 and give the world an even chance of limiting the global
China''s clean energy trends could cut emissions by 30% in 2035
Electricity: By continuing the current rate of renewables expansion, China could cut 30% of emissions from the electricity sector and increase the share of non-fossil energy in total energy consumption to above 40%. This would require a renewables capacity of 5,000GW by 2035 and halting approvals of all new unabated coal power plants.
U.S. Department of Energy Announces Clean Energy
The Department of Energy announced a range of initiatives – on issues from clean hydrogen and nuclear energy to zero-emissions transportation and building decarbonization – to spur the transition to clean energy systems and help keep the 1.5-degree goal within reach. Highlights include: Partnering to accelerate clean energy transitions
3 Reasons Why Nuclear is Clean and Sustainable
Nuclear is a zero-emission clean energy source. It generates power through fission, which is the process of splitting uranium atoms to produce energy. The heat released by fission is used to create steam that spins a turbine to generate electricity without the harmful byproducts emitted by fossil fuels.
The world''s energy problem
The first energy problem: those that have low carbon emissions lack access to energy. Every country is still very far away from providing clean, safe, and affordable energy at a massive scale and unless we make rapid progress in developing these technologies we will remain stuck in the two unsustainable alternatives of today: energy poverty

CO₂ emissions by fuel
Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from energy and material production can arise from various sources and fuel types: coal, oil, gas, cement production, and gas flaring.. As global and national energy systems have transitioned over centuries and decades, the contribution of different fuel sources to CO 2 emissions has changed both geographically and temporally.
OCED Announces Notice of Intent to Fund $1.3
Washington, D.C.—As part of Biden-Harris Administration''s Investing in America agenda, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to fund up to $1.3 billion to catalyze investments in transformative carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies. This funding—made possible by
Emissions reach record high despite growth in clean energy, IEA
"The clean energy transition is continuing apace and reining in emissions," said Fatih Birol, executive director of the IEA, adding that the sector had shown "resilience" through the
Energy and the Green Deal
The production and use of energy account for more than 75% of the EU''s greenhouse gas emissions. Decarbonising the EU''s energy system is therefore critical to reach our 2030 climate objectives and the EU''s long-term strategy of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. The European Green Deal focuses on 3 key principles for the clean energy
CO2 Emissions in 2022 – Analysis
Global carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from energy combustion and industrial processes1 grew 0.9% or 321 Mt in 2022 to a new all-time high of 36.8 Gt. This estimate is based on the IEA''s detailed region-by-region and fuel-by-fuel analysis, incorporating the latest official national statistics and publicly available data on energy use, economic indicators, and weather.

DOE Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap | Department of Energy
Industry represents 30% of U.S. primary energy-related carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions, or 1360 million metric tonnes of CO 2 (2020). The Industrial Decarbonization Roadmap focuses on five of the highest CO 2-emitting industries where industrial decarbonization technologies can have the greatest impact across the nation: petroleum refining, chemicals, iron and steel, cement, and
Health and Safety Benefits of Clean Energy
Clean energy and energy efficiency benefit human health (physical and mental) and safety. Clean energy technologies produce almost no harmful emissions—known as greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide—that are linked to numerous health problems. Clean energy also affects environmental health and safety.
