The race towards renewable energy is getting worse. And despite the growing challenges of the climate crisis, there are signs of progress: solar panels in the desert are visible, the air turbines appear on the shore and the hydropower dams are being used to generate clean energy from strong rivers. And all of these fossil fuels are occurring without carbon emissions, which is the largest single factor in global temperature.
In fact, new statistics of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRNA) showed that the recorded power recorded in 2021 has increased by 585 GHz, which was the most severe annual growth in two decades.
However, efforts to change the renewable energy inspired by the instant technology and carbon emissions have been accelerated, experts have given some precautions: depending on the weather conditions as the source of the renewable energy, the production of renewable energy due to climate change and many times is in danger.
This trend was more clearly derived in 2023, so that year there were numerous obstacles to the production of worldwide renewable energy. The temperature reached the above 1.45 degrees centigrade above the pre-industrial level and changed from La Nina to El Nino to change the rain, wind tendency and solar radiation.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) climate and energy expert Hamid Bastani gave an example to clarify the impact, “an interview with UN News said,” Sudan and Namibia have dropped more than 50 percent due to abnormally low rainfall, due to abnormally low rainfall. “
In Sudan, 2023 was only 100 millimeters (less than four inches) of rainfall – which was less than half of the national long -term average.
Hamid Bastani explained, “This is a country where about 60 percent in the supply of hydroelectric energy. This reduction can be considered as signs of significant results.” He said that through this power system, electricity was supplied to about 1.5 crore population and the number was increasing rapidly.
A wide range of opportunities to change
These changes are not limited to mere hydropower. There are also symptoms of air energy in the changing climate situation.
Global Ons of China is 40 percent of the air capacity. However, due to the wind blows in 2021, it increased by only 4 to 8 percent in 2021.
In India, too, the production has decreased due to poor monsoon winds, while some regions of Africa have declined by rapid damage, the production of air energy has decreased by 20 to 30 percent.
On the other hand, the South American scale has been shown to bend the other side. Solar panel performances in countries like Brazil, Colombia and Bolivia, especially by the increase in clear sky and solar radiation.
The region has increased by four to six percent in solar production, which was climatic jumps. It creates the extra energy of about three terravats per hour. If we talk about the average use rate there, this electricity will be enough to provide energy for more than 2 million homes for a year.
Roberta Boskolo, the current head of the WMO’s New York Office, explained “a good example of how climate change can sometimes create new opportunities. The days of high solar radiation have increased over time.”
Roberta Boskolo and Hamid Bastani have recently contributed to the research conducted by WMO -Irena. The study has measured the impact of elo nino, global temperature rise and the effects of regional extreme weather and the effects of renewable energy production and energy demand from regional extreme weather events.
In a unstable world, the durability system
Roberta Boskolo has worked for years in climate science and energy policies. From his experience, the renewable energy immediately captures the pulse of infrastructure weakness. Dam, solar power plains and air turbines are built on the basis of all previous climate trends, making them sensitive to changing climate.
Talking about hydroelectric power, the dam, depending on the flow of estimated seasonal water, often comes from ice melting or glaciers from water. He said, “Glacier melting hydro -intersection causes a short -term increase. But when these glaciers are finished, this water will not be found and at least it will be difficult to reverse the situation in mankind.”
This trend is already developing in regions like Andes and Himalayas. If the melting water disappears, the countries will have to change the ways to produce energy within a long time or face energy deficit.
For example, a recently published, UN Environment Program (UNEP) reports that sea level and strong storms are rising, the risk of energy production facilities, including solar energy manufacturing sites near the coast, is increasing.
Similarly, the fast fire of the forest can also destroy electric lines and cause darkness throughout the region. At the same time, with extreme heat, the efficiency of the solar panels can be reduced, which increases the demand for cooling, may contain pressure on the grid infrastructure.
Nuclear power plants are also at risk of changing climate.
Roberta Boskolo said, “We have seen that nuclear power plants are unable to function properly due to cooling or water. Then some old atomic benefits are not able to properly adjust to their current places as the heat waves increase and the river level decreases.”
“This is another thing that should be viewed differently in the future.
Global renewable electricity capacity has increased by about 5 percent in 2021. It was the largest annual growth of the two decades, most of which increased with solar and air energy.
Adaptation through data, AI and technology
Roberta Boscolo emphasized that one thing is sure: Our planet is moving towards a future where the energy generated from renewable sources will prevail.
“Our transport will be electrical; our food will be in electrical ways; Tatan will be from thunderstorms in our homes and buildings. So, if we do not have any reliable electricity, everything will be broken down. Our power system will be changed to change our power system and think about our climatic information in the future to think about reliability and tolerance.”
Both experts, for adaptation Climate intellect Emphasizing the need for climate forecasts, data and science integration at every level of the plan for change toward renewable energy.
Hamid Bastani explained, “In the past, the energy planners worked on the average estimate of the previous years. But the past and not reliable guide.
Hamid Bastani said, “Now we have a forecast from seconds to a few months. Each of them is a specific use of the immediate grid to the balance of long -term investment.”
In fact, the promise and challenge of the climate-south renewable project is most pronounced in the south of Global. For example, Africa features the best solar possibilities, but despite this, only two percent of the world’s renewable power is established on this continent.
What is the reason for this difference? Roberton Boskolo pointed to the lack of data and investment.
He said, “In many parts of the Global South, the right forecast or adequate observation data power project is not available. Investors need to show reliable long -term assumptions. This is the risk without this.”
WMO is working towards improvement of weather and energy monitoring in underdeveloped areas, but progress is unequivocally. The company has called for more money for climate service designed according to local data network, energy projects and regional requirements.
Roberto Boskolo says, “This is not just about climate mitigation. It is an opportunity for development. If systems are properly prepared, the renewable energy can provide electricity to the community, promote industrial growth and create employment.”
Hamid emphasizes the sharing of global data between the Bastani Energy Agency and Climate Scientists.
“There is a great possibility in the information collected by the private sector, which has not yet been noticed. Solar, air, hydro power, even nuclear power plants, even nuclear power plants, weather and climate models can be much more enhanced by the historical and real -time observations.”
Power variety for adaptation
Another important action, which guarantee clean energy in the near future, is diversity. According to Hamid Bastani, only a lot of dependence on a renewable source will have a big impact on countries, a major impact on seasonal or long -term climate change.
Hamid Bastani said, “A mixture of a variety of energy is essential, which includes solar, air, water, battery storage and even low-carbon sources (such as geothetic), especially when extreme weather events occur frequently.”
Future
Since the world is moving towards the future with renewable power, it has become mandatory to solve the challenges presented by climate change. The tendency of unstable weather is able to face unexpected seasonal changes and strong infrastructure requirements in 2023.
In fact, to fulfill the promise of improvement by renewable energy, the world is not only a stretching power, but a system that is based on the best climate science that is able, adapted and currently available.
WMO experts, Hamid Bastani and Roberta Boskolo have emphasized the importance of integrating climate intelligence in the power system to ensure credibility and tolerance. By taking advantage of advanced prediction and artificial intelligence, these changes can be predicted and favorable and can protect your future.
The future of energy does not only depend on the creation of more air turbines and solar panels, but it is also necessary to ensure that they are able to face challenges created for alleviation.
