The GSR Renewables in Energy Supply module covers the way final energy is supplied and delivered by different energy carriers - heat, fuel and electricity - and technologies - bioenergy, geothermal power and heat, heat pumps, hydrogen, hydropower, solar PV, concentrated solar power (CSP), solar thermal heat, ocean power and wind power. [...] However, renewables do not yet cover rising demand and the use of coal, oil and gas in the power sector grew by 18% between 2011 and 2021. [...] The global deployment and investment landscape is highly unequal, with most advancements in China, the EU, and the US, where substantial policy action and financial incentives are spurring strong growth in solar PV, wind, and energy storage, along with enhanced manufacturing capacity. [...] The Renewables in Energy Supply report follows the release of GSR 2024 Renewables in Energy Demand, which explored renewable energy use in the key energy-consuming sectors of buildings, industry, transport and agriculture. [...] It provided the big picture status of renewables in the wider energy system in the context of global challenges such as climate change, economic development and the geopolitical landscape.
