Study: Strong Increase of Wind and Solar Needed to Reach Paris Climate Target

The world needs more renewable energy to stop global warming - The technology already exists to curb emissions enough to hit the Paris Climate Target though

Official Press Release DNV GL:

8 times more wind and solar power needed by 2030 to help meet Paris climate target, DNV GL finds

Wind Industry Profile of

DNV GL’s Energy Transition Outlook indicates global temperatures rise by 2.4?C by end of century. Energy experts identify a combination of technology measures to curb global warming which includes: Boost solar power more than 10 times to 5 TW, wind power by 5 times to 3 TW and increase battery production for EVs 50-fold by 2030. DNV GL calls for extraordinary policy action to advance renewables, new decarbonization technologies and systems, electrical vehicles and energy efficiency

The energy transition requires more than 10 times solar and 5 times wind power in combination with other technology measures to limit global warming to well below 2°C and meet the targets of the Paris Agreement, according to DNV GL’s latest Energy Transition Outlook: Power Supply and Use... ...
