22nd edition of the World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO)
Capgemini has published the 22nd edition of its annual report on the World Energy Markets Observatory (WEMO), with the main conclusions :
- The significant decline in economic activityemissions from the Covid leads to the largest reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions since the Second World War. However, long-term climate change objectives remain very ambitious.
- Energy production from renewable sources and battery storage technologies are evolving rapidly.
- The growing share of renewable energies in the energy mix, combined with the closure of programmable generation sources, entails risks as regards the stability of the electricity grid.
- Will post-COVID-19 stimulus packages succeed in accelerating the advent of a green economy?
In order to achieve climate change objectives and ensure security of energy supply, the WEMO report makes the following recommendations:
- Controlling GHG emissions
- Encouraging the construction of carbon-free energy production facilities
- Promoting electrification
- Guaranteeing the security of network management
- Ensuring that the ecological proportion of recovery plans becomes a reality
