39% of global electricity is generated from Low Carbon
39.07 %
Share of global electricity
Low-carbon energy sources are integral in the global movement toward clean, green, sustainable energy. These sources, which include nuclear, wind, and solar, are pivotal in combating climate change and reducing air pollution caused by traditional fossil fuels. Nuclear energy, in particular, is a substantial contributor to low-carbon electricity production globally, alongside wind and solar power. Contrary to popular belief, nuclear power is just as "green" and sustainable as wind or solar energy. It’s crucial to remember that these figures refer specifically to electricity generation, not total energy usage. In short, a shift towards low-carbon energy sources, such as nuclear, wind, and solar, would significantly reduce our global carbon footprint and lead us toward a cleaner, greener future.
