The pace of growth in power demand has meant that overall carbon emissions from the sector have increased substantially over the past three years Electricity generation snapshots in key economies by fuel type, 2018 9.3% Renewables increased their share in power generation from 8.4% to 38% But coal still accounted for the largest share of power generation at —with overall coal consumption increasing for a second year in a row Total global electricity generation in terrawatt hours 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 30000 In a big year for energy demand growth overall, power demand increased even more strongly 3.7% Other Renewables Hydro electric Nuclear Natural gas Oil Coal Japan 1,051.6 5.7% 33.0% 36.8% 4.7% 7.7% 10.7% 1.5% US 4,460.8 27.9% 35.4% 19.0% 6.5% 10.3% 0.3% 0.6% UK 333.9 19.5% 1.6% 31.6% 5.0% 2.3% 39.4% 0.5% China 7,111.8 66.5% 3.1% 4.1% 16.9% 8.9% 0.2% 0.2% Germany 648.7 35.3% 12.8% 11.7% 2.6% 32.2% 4.5% 0.5% 2009 2010 2008 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 In terrawatt hours based on gross output Sum of % may not add up to 100 due to rounding Is our electricity getting greener? Electrification is a key part of a lower carbon energy system but that electricity must come from lower carbon sources
