The energy sector, dominated by fossil fuels, is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas. We know nations need reliable energy sources to power homes, workplaces, hospitals, and other areas. Even after years of emphasizing sustainable energy, we have a long way to go for meeting climate goals and achieving universal access to affordable, clean, and reliable energy. The constant momentum to make political and investment commitments has brought remarkable difference while prioritising solar energy in the Caribbean and other countries.
Here are five reasons to look forward to clean and renewable energy:
1 Increasing Use of Renewable Energy
2 Clean Energy is a Smart Investment
3 Solar Champions New Heights
4 There is Growing Momentum for Carbon Neutrality
5 Sustainable Development in the Renewable Energy Industry
1 Increasing Use of Renewable Energy
Renewables like wind, solar, and storage have strategically developed over time despite all the industry setbacks that emerged due to pandemic. Though job losses, supply chain disruptions, and other challenges have affected the clean energy industry, its momentum can’t be stopped. These renewable energy vehicles continue to decrease in cost, but they are equally attractive compared to fossil fuel alternatives. They’ll always be in demand among consumers, corporations, and other utilities alike.
2 There is Growing Momentum for Carbon Neutrality
115 countries have committed to building greener, better, and more sustainable surroundings throughout the year. Moreover, high-emitting economies like China, Japan, the UK, South Korea, and the EU have made net-zero commitments. In 2019, US$500 billion was spent on subsidies of fossil fuel. These climate prevention commitments and renewable energy programs are a dominant signal and a necessary step towards reaching net-zero emissions or carbon neutrality.
