6 FAQs about [Solar power turning point]

Could wind and solar be a real turning point?

"Wind and solar have arrived, and they offer a solution out of the multiple crises that the world is facing, whether it's a climate crisis, or the dependence on fossil fuels, this could be a real turning point," said Hannah Broadbent. Ember's Global Electricity Review can be found here. Follow Matt on Twitter @mattmcgrathbbc.

Is the renewables future a turning point?

Its authors say that this rapid growth has brought the world to a crucial turning point where fossil fuel generation starts to decline. Clean power sources have already helped to slow the growth in fossil fuels by almost two-thirds in the last 10 years. “The renewables future has arrived,” says Dave Jones, Ember’s director of global insights.

Is the transition to low-carbon energy a turning point?

The year marked a turning point in the transition to low-carbon energy, according to think tank Ember, with coal and gas power on the cusp of a long-term decline. Green electricity jumped from 29.4 per cent of total generation in 2022 to 30.3 per cent last year, a new high.

Is there a global irreversible solar tipping point?

Nijsse and colleagues find that due to technological trajectories set in motion by past policy, a global irreversible solar tipping point may have passed where solar energy gradually comes to dominate global electricity markets, without any further climate policies.

Could 2023 be a turning point for batteries?

"The year 2023 could go down in history as the turning point for batteries in the global energy transition," said Christian Breyer, a professor of solar economics at LUT University in Finland. Lithium, cobalt and nickel batteries are well-established, "but now sodium-ion batteries are also being introduced to the market," said Breyer.

Is fossil fuel generation a turning point in the world?

The report covers 80 countries which represent 92 per cent of the world’s energy demand and historic data from 215 other countries. Its authors say that this rapid growth has brought the world to a crucial turning point where fossil fuel generation starts to decline.
