And fossil fuel power plants may not stick to their retirement schedules for a variety of reasons. More gas plants, uncertain coal retirements As you may have noticed in the first table toward the top of the page, about 7.4 GW of new gas capacity is planned to come online in 2023, outpacing not only the 4.8

According to the forecast, while economy-wide CO 2 emissions decrease from 2022 to 2037 due primarily to the growth in renewable energy replacing retiring coal plants, emissions do increase after 2037 from increased usage of natural gas. EIA is projecting that natural gas prices will remain low.

First off, some facts and figures from Ember, which recently stated that both fossil fuels generation and CO2 emissions from the European electricity sector fell 19 percent last year alone. Renewables now account for 44% of the EU electricity mix and wind power is now producing more electricity than natural gas.

We all know that to successfully address climate change we need to phase out fossil fuels and switch to electric power. A s we transition our homes and vehicles to electric power, it’s imperative that the electricity sector be clean. The costs of wind and solar power have been dropping like a stone.
