Which basically means that 10% of their energy comes from renewable energy and that includes burning wood bricks, trash and a bunch of other CO2 emitting source

Which basically means that 10% of their energy comes from renewable energy and that includes burning wood bricks, trash and a bunch of other CO2 emitting sources.
Electricity is only around 20% of a countrys energy need. In developing countries even less.
So it sounds great but it's completely misleadning of course.
Globally wind and solar combined might be around 2%
This is the mouse and the elephant all over.
- Symbiote 3y agoYou can easily find real numbers rather than invent some. In Portugal electricity was 25% of total energy in 2021, renewable energy covered 30.6% of gross final energy demand in 2019. https://www.iea.org/reports/portugal-2021 https://www.iea.org/reports/portugal-2021
- ThomPete 3y agoSorry but those numbers aren't really contradicting mine. Renewable energy in Portugal is mostly bioenergy and waste (Page 20) So yes lets look at the actual numbers. https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a58d6151-f75f-4cd7-891e-6b06540ce01f/Portugal2021EnergyPolicyReview.pdf https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/a58d6151-f75f-4cd7-...
