English: Share of electricity production from renewables as shown in OurWorldInData.Org
In the sections above we looked at the role of renewables in the total energy mix. This includes not only electricity, but also transport and heating. Electricity forms only one component of energy consumption.
Since transport and heating tend to be harder to decarbonize – they are more reliant on oil and gas – renewables tend to have a higher share in the electricity mix versus the total energy mix.
This interactive chart shows the share of electricity that comes from renewable technologies.
Globally, around one-quarter of our electricity comes from renewables.
