报告摘要

Here is a summary based on the provided report:

Hydropower: Total capacity increased from 624,068 MW in 2012 to 815,034 MW in 2021, with significant growth in Africa and Asia. Countries like Ethiopia and India reported substantial increases.
Solar Energy: Solar adoption grew rapidly, especially in Africa. Solar lights and mini-grids showed marked expansion, with solar mini-grids reaching 471,000 MW in 2021. Solar home systems (SHS) capacity increased, indicating improved access to electricity and lighting, particularly for off-grid communities.
Biogas: Global production rose from 16,792,000 m³ in 2012 to 16,768,050 m³ in 2021, with Africa and Asia leading in usage, mainly for cooking and electricity.
Other Renewable Sources: Solar PV and biofuels saw growth, with Asia dominating solar PV capacity and Africa showing strong biofuel potential. Off-grid energy access expanded, connecting over 7.2 billion people by 2021, focusing on electricity and clean cooking solutions.
Trends: The global shift to off-grid renewables accelerated between 2012 and 2021, driven by innovations in solar and battery storage. While progress varies by region, energy access improved significantly, especially in developing countries.
