👉 The top 3 energy consumers has 20% and below share of Carbon Free Energy (CFE)

👉 Every country has its own journey in pursuit of net-zero. This is shaped by an energy security based on local resource availability (including manufacturing capability and supply chain for clean energy supply).

I have shared data over time about different Carbon Free Energy (CFE) contributions among the top 12 energy-consuming countries. To summarise all the findings, I have consolidated the information in one chart. This is an updated version of the chart shared earlier, with the addition of CFE data other than solar, wind, hydro and nuclear. Click here for the chart 👉

▶ Except for Brazil and Canada (due to hydro resources), all other countries have a CFE share of less than 30% in total energy consumption.
▶ The two largest energy consumers – China and the USA – have around 20% CFE share in total energy consumption.
▶ India remains at a distant 10th among the top 12 energy-consuming countries with a 10.3% CFE share despite being the 3rd largest solar and 4th largest solar+wind installer.

Countries which meet up to 95% CFE contribution from sources other than solar, wind, hydro and nuclear:

▶️ Indonesia’s 95% contribution of CFE comes from bioenergy and geothermal.
▶️ Brazil meets 14% of its total energy consumption needs through bioenergy sources.
▶️ Germany meets 6% of its total energy consumption needs through biomass, especially for heating.️ ▶️ Japan meets 3% of its total energy consumption needs through bioenergy and waste-to-energy.
