Clean energy supplied more than 40% of global electricity last year
Clean energy sources supplied more than 40% of global electricity generation in 2024, a new report by Ember has found,…
Solar energy harnesses the sun’s radiation to generate electricity or heat using technologies such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and solar thermal systems. As one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy sources, solar power is helping businesses and governments reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy security and accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy. Falling technology costs, improved efficiency and growing investment have made solar energy a key pillar of global decarbonisation efforts.
SustainabilityOnline brings you the latest developments in solar, including solar power generation, photovoltaic technology, energy storage, clean energy investment, corporate renewable energy strategies and evolving policy and regulation. We explore how organisations are increasing solar capacity, improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions and integrating renewable electricity into their operations. We also examine developments in battery storage, grid infrastructure, sustainable finance, industrial decarbonisation and the role of solar energy in achieving net zero ambitions.
