About three-fourths of the decline came from oil, as the pandemic dramatically impacted the world’s transportation systems. Small declines were also reported in coal, natural gas, and nuclear consumption, while renewables and hydropower recorded gains. Natural Gas. share of all energy consumption.

You may count me among those who want to see society move beyond fossil fuels. We all know there are negative consequences associated with fossil fuel usage, such as the emission of carbon dioxide and various other pollutants. Most people drastically underestimate our ongoing dependence on fossil fuels.

The clean-burning fuel does not produce carbon emissions upon consumption and so can replace fossil fuels in many sectors including heavy industry, transportation and heating. Currently, the majority of hydrogen around the world is produced from fossil fuels (76% from natural gas, 23% from coal).

Activists won a string of local victories, passing municipal and regional laws to ban new and expanded fossil fuel developments. What was missing were government policies capable of shoving economic growth onto a track that required less energy from fossil fuels. Then the leaders fell short on follow-through.

Renewable solar and wind power now typically costs less than fossil-fuel alternatives. That’s looking more doable as renewable-energy prices drop, providing an alternative to fossil fuels. Given the imperative to cut carbon wherever possible, it’s time to start closing lanes on the natural-gas bridge.

97 percent of climate scientists agree that global warming trends are clear and “extremely likely” due to human activities, most prominently the rising emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fossil fuels. as well as wind, hydropower, and bioenergy can replace coal, gas, and oil for power generation.

We need to get rid of coal, natural gas and petroleum. First, we need to realize that virtually all our energy needs (heating, transport, power) in every sector (buildings, industrial, transportation) can be performed by electricity. All the gas we need in the world can be made from, you guessed it, biogas.

Many efficiency measures in industry, buildings, appliances and transport can be put into effect and scaled up very quickly. Huge changes are needed in the transportation sector. Those can be accomplished by strict fuel-economy standards and global bans on internal combustion engines (ICEs) after 2035. Transport mode switching.
