This post is part of an ongoing “What Is” series from Energy Innovation that answers some of today’s most pressing climate policy questions. What is Clean Energy? But what counts as clean energy? But the bottom line is clear – energy isn’t clean if it generates greenhouse gas emissions or air pollution.

The energy transition continues to gain steam, with oil demand projected to peak in this decade, perhaps as soon as 2025, according to new research by global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. Nonetheless, the long-term transition to low-carbon energy systems continues to see strong momentum and, in several respects, acceleration.
