Fossil fuels are consistent at 82% of the global energy cake, so to speak, but the cake is getting bigger. Someone wails that ‘overall global energy-related greenhouse gas emissions increased again’ as the so-called Paris climate agreement fades further into irrelevance. Time to stop clinging to pipedreams and admit realities.

Record increases in solar and wind installations in 2022 failed to cut into the massive 82% share of fossil fuels in global energy consumption, says OilPrice.com, amid turbulent energy markets and energy security concerns, the annual Statistical Review of World Energy showed on Monday.
Moreover, despite the record growth of global solar and wind capacity additions last year, emissions rose again, to a new record high, and further put the world off track to the Paris Agreement targets, said the report, published by the Energy Institute (EI) and partners KPMG and Kearney, which earlier this year took over the publishing of one of the industry’s most closely-watched reports from BP that had published it for the prior 71 years.
The latest report showed that primary energy demand growth slowed in 2022, increasing by 1.1%, compared to 5.5% growth in 2021, and taking it to around 3% above the 2019 pre-COVID level.

Oil, coal and gas still cover 83% of global energy demand

Reblogged this on Utopia, you are standing in it!.
A parasitic energy industry cannot become bigger than its target energy industry.
as Philip Mulholland says, that a parasitic energy industry cannot become bigger than its target energy industry, as I’ve said many’s a time before: but Ppl still don’t get it: that Herons, being the parasite of the fish in the pond, do not of their own free will or Intelligence (- sadly lacking amongst Politicians, the Media, Gravytrain Engineers, and City dwelling theoreticians in ( now has to be faux-) Ivory Towers with their Roadies) encourage more to the Pond to feed. ( Lack of wind)
When you want to simplify something, see an old style Farmer, if you want to overcomplicate something ask a ( ha haha – “modern” City dweller ) – I’m thinking of a basic Diesel engine – even a 2-stroke Few moving parts and it works. complicate it by listening to these plonkers: BTW Merc & VAG still having issues on emissions in Europe. suffered another blow in the long-running litigation over customers’ right to payouts when their diesel cars were equipped with rule-breaking software to sidestep anti-pollution systems. German top court lowers standards to allow more drivers to sue. Car owners may collect up to 15 % of price they paid for car. etc etc.

Energy sector CO2 emissions hit record in 2022: study
“Carbon dioxide emissions from energy use, industrial processes, flaring and methane… continued to rise to a new high growing 0.8 percent in 2022,” read the study.
. . .
“We are still heading in the opposite direction to that required by the Paris Agreement.”
