Dale encabezó la presentación por internet de la Revisión estadística de la energía mundial 2021, donde los expertos de la compañía petrolera repasan la evolución del mercado energético el año pasado, uno de los más “dramáticos” conocidos.
El economista constató que, en el 2020, la demanda energética mundial cayó en torno a un 4.5%, mientras que las emisiones de carbono derivadas del consumo de energía bajaron 6.3%, “el mayor retroceso desde la segunda Guerra Mundial”.
También se redujo a niveles récord “la intensidad de carbono del conjunto de energías” utilizadas a nivel mundial, debido en buena medida al desplome sin precedentes, en un 9.3%, del consumo de petróleo, por la paralización de la aviación y el transporte.
Pathways to faster decarbonization with gas and renewables
Today, we’re seeing countries across Sub-Saharan Africa commit to increasing the share of renewable energy in their mix and to decarbonize their economies

The power sector accounts for up to 41 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions today, with Africa contributing about 2-3%. In parallel, there are still over 580 million people on the continent who do not have access to reliable energy and the demand for electricity is expected to continue to grow as populations increase, industrialization ambitions grow and urbanization continues to fuel the need for more power.

To address sustainability concerns, the world is transitioning towards a lower carbon energy mix at a pace unseen before. This is reflected in the total global value of energy transition investment – including spend on new renewable energy capacity, electric vehicles and associated charging infrastructure, energy storage technologies, and more – reaching over US$500 billion (https://bit.ly/3be1TUv) for the first time in 2020.

Tribune News Network Doha The power sector accounts for up to 41 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions today. Additionally, there are up to 1 billion people around the world who still lack access to reliable energy and the demand for electricity is expected to continue to grow, including here in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), where population growth, industrialisation and urbanisation continue to fuel the need for more power. To address sustainability concerns, the world is transitioning towards a lower carbon energy mix at a pace unseen before. This is reflected in the total global value of energy transition investment – including spend on new renewable energy capacity, electric vehicles and associated charging infrastructure, energy storage technologies, and more - reaching over US$500 billion for the first time in 2020. This was an increase of 9 percent over the previous year, despite the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However,
