2025 Energy Report Shows US Emissions Rise While India Expands Renewables
A 2025 Energy Institute report highlights a 1.1-1.7% global rise in energy-related carbon emissions and supply, driven by increased demand and fossil fuel use. The US contributed about one-third of emissions growth due to higher coal consumption. In contrast, India saw a 24% rise in renewable electricity and a decline in fossil fuel generation, with renewables and hydropower surpassing coal globally. Solar and battery storage led clean energy expansion amid growing electricity demand from electrification and technology sectors.
