Three Pillars of Energy Transition
The energy transition involves three key tasks: decarbonizing electricity, electrifying end-use energy, and eliminating remaining emissions.
Decarbonizing electricity must happen first to enable effective electrification and reduce global emissions.
insights INSIGHT
Electrification Depends on Decarbonization
Electrifying end-use energy reduces emissions only if the electricity is decarbonized.
Historically, using electricity often caused higher emissions than direct fuel use, but this is now changing globally.

China Leads Fastest Energy Transition
China leads the energy transition with the fastest deployment of solar and wind power installations.
Rapid gigawatt-scale solar projects completed in less than 16 months exemplify this accelerated pace.
