Indonesia’s energy landscape has long been dominated by fossil fuels, primarily coal, oil, and natural gas. However, in the last decade, policy initiatives, technological advancements, and increasing environmental awareness have gradually shifted the focus towards renewable energy sources.Current Energy Mix: Fossil Fuels vs. Renewables Fossil fuels constituted 84.41% of Indonesia’s total energy supply (TES)...
from 76.38 Gigawatts (GW) in 2014 to 203.1 GW in 2024 India’s total energy consumption per capita reached 0.8 toe, half of the Asian average, with electricity consumption per capita reaching 985 kWh in 2023. Total energy consumption has also continued to grow significantly (6.5 percent year on year since 2020, of which 5 percent...
Germany’s energy landscape has undergone significant transformation over the past decade, with renewables increasingly supplanting fossil fuels in the energy mix, especially when considering electricity generation. Although the statistics may vary depending on the source, one can see in the below graph (from the UBA Umweltbundesamt, the main German environmental protection agency) that as of...
France’s energy mix comprises 67.1% nuclear, 20% renewable, 10% fossil fuels, and 3% others.Over the past decade, France has seen a significant shift towards renewable energies. The share of renewable energy has doubled from 10% in 2012 to 20% in 2022, while the share of fossil fuels has declined from 15% in 2012 to 10%...
For the first time in 2022, the amount of energy generated by wind and solar overtook the amount generated by gas and nuclear power. Image Courtesy of: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/01/renewable-energy-electricity-record-europe/According to the European Environmental Agency (EEA), 22.8% of energy consumed in the EU in 2022 was generated from wind and solar power, and renewables overtook the amount...
Much has been lamented about China’s constant increase in coal capacities to ensure its energy security in recent years. At the same time, headlines proclaiming China’s world market leadership in wind and solar energy equally abound.Indeed, looking at the numbers, both are true. While coal capacities have increased over the past ten years, the overall...

Current situation: Renewable energies have played a significant role in Brazil’s energy matrix. According to recent data, the share of renewable sources in the Brazilian electricity generation matrix is approximately 85%. The primary renewable sources include hydroelectric power, which has historically been dominant, as well as wind and solar power.Trends in the Last 10 Years:...
Australia has long been known for its dependency on fossil fuel-produced energy, as well as its role as one of the world’s largest fossil fuel exporters, despite skyrocketing energy prices for domestic customers. Although the left-leaning Labor Federal Government has committed to accelerating the energy transition and has legislated a net zero emissions target, it...
