Since the Industrial Revolution, society's development has been largely driven by fossil fuels. The Global Energy Mix is still Dominated by Fossil Fuels: Globally, the cumulative share of coal, oil and gas in the energy mix in 2018 was close to 85%, with hydro (6.8%), other renewables (4%) and nuclear (4.4%) trailing far behind. ... The energy mix refers to the various primary energy sources used in a given geographic region.
With low carbon long term development strategies and considering commitments to the Paris agreement for a mid century zero net emissions, shall we shift definitely to clean and sustainable energy sources e.g.: Hydrogene, RE, ....or Fusion?
thanks for this
yes,
we shift definitely to clean and sustainable energy sources e.g.: Hydrogene, RE, ....or Fusion
for all these
There are several factors controlling this among them: Scientific determinism Technological determinism
Economic determinism
I think the question is not easy to answer even if most of the studies from IRENA, IEA, WEC,....are giving large sharing for fossile energy even in 2050...
