Overview The newest Review shows the world remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels for energy needs, even as renewables like solar and wind continue rapid growth. While renewable power expanded at record rates, fossil fuels maintained an 82% share of total primary energy consumption. growth in 2021.

As renewable energy sources have matured and become more affordable, a challenge remains in dramatically increasing the amount of clean power on the electric grid: long-duration energy storage. They also have a lifespan of 30 years—significantly longer than that of lithium-ion batteries—and aren’t prone to battery fires or explosions.

From alkaline batteries for small electronics to lithium-ion batteries for cars and laptops, most people already use batteries in many aspects of their daily lives. For example, high-capacity batteries with long discharge times – up to 10 hours – could be valuable for storing solar power at night or increasing the range of electric vehicles.

In the summer of 1988, scientist James Hansen testified to Congress that carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels was dangerously warming the planet. Then, beginning around 2009, first wind turbines and then solar photovoltaic panels decreased enough in cost to become competitive in electricity markets.

The report lays out five alternative pathways to reaching its targets, ranging from those that rely on a complete shift to renewable energy and electrifying transport and buildings, to those that rely more on nuclear power, carbon capture and storage or biomass to decarbonize. In the U.S.,
