Summary of RENEWABLES 2023: Global Status Report - Energy Supply

Core Content

The RENEWABLES 2023 Global Status Report - Energy Supply Module provides an in-depth analysis of the global renewable energy landscape, highlighting the progress made, the challenges faced, and the opportunities for further development. It is part of a five-piece collection released in 2023, aiming to expand the renewable energy discussion into key sectors and ecosystems.

The report underscores the critical importance of renewable energy in the context of the global energy crisis experienced in 2021-2022, which was driven by the economic rebound post-COVID-19 and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This crisis has prompted governments and policymakers to prioritize energy security and to increase their reliance on renewable energy sources to counter inflation, supply disruptions, and price volatility.

Main Points

• Renewable Power Growth: Renewable power experienced record-breaking growth in 2022, but the current rate is still insufficient to meet global needs.
• Critical Bottlenecks: Slow permitting processes and inadequate grid infrastructure are major obstacles to renewable energy expansion.
• Renewable Heat and Fuels: Despite their importance, renewable heat and fuels still rely heavily on fossil fuels, accounting for nearly 80% of the global energy supply.
• Need for Diversification: To avoid future energy crises, diversifying renewable sources and technologies is essential.
• Economic and Social Integration: The report emphasizes the need to build an economy that supports the sustainable growth of the renewables industry, including manufacturing, supply chains, and skilled labor.
• Collaborative Efforts: The report is a collaborative effort involving hundreds of contributors from science, governments, NGOs, and industry, ensuring a comprehensive and unbiased view of the renewable energy transition.
