Keeping an eye on renewable energy in 2022 is worth a review. Nearly everyone agrees that we must stop using fossil fuels to slow down the harm we are doing to the Earth and the ecosystem. Our quest to find new sustainable or renewable substitutes for coal, oil, and gas has spurred many scientific and commercial advancements.
Even though it would be ideal to believe that everyone is motivated to contribute in some way to rescue the world, there is also a significant financial incentive. There is an expected increase in the renewable energy market by 2030, from $880 billion to around $2 trillion. Political incentives are also quite intense because of the public’s growing understanding of the significance of environmental and social governance (ESG) issues.
2022 was forecasted to establish a record of the rate at which the transition from fossil fuels to renewable sources would occur. Additionally, this year witnessed the emergence of novel and unusual energy sources that will begin to permeate daily life from research labs and pilot projects. Here are some of the stirring updates from around the globe we have assembled for our favorite readers.
