While Australia and South Korea have cut per person emissions from coal-fired electricity since 2015 \u2013 by 26% and 10% respectively \u2013 they continue to release more CO2 than other major economies, according to an analysis by the energy thinktank Ember.<\/p>\n<p>China \u2013 the world\u2019s biggest annual emitter in absolute terms \u2013 ranks third after its per capita emissions from coal power rose by 30% over seven years due to its growth in electricity use outpacing its growth in zero-emissions generation. It has installed 670 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity &#8211; about a third of the world\u2019s solar and wind \u2013 since 2015. Dave Jones, Ember\u2019s global insights lead, said China and India \u2013 as emerging countries that are home to about a third of the world\u2019s people \u2013 were often accused of being the world\u2019s big coal polluters, but the report showed Australia and South Korea were worse once population was factored in.<\/p>\n<p>The report said Australia selling its vast coal reserves overseas meant it was also \u201can enabler for other countries in becoming polluters\u201d. The country is the world\u2019s second biggest coal exporter after Indonesia. Domestically, Australia\u2019s main electricity grid, covering the five east coast states, gets about 35% of electricity from renewable energy. The Albanese government has set a target of reaching 82% by 2030, though experts say this is in doubt at the current pace of clean energy and transmission investment.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2023\/sep\/05\/australia-has-highest-per-capita-co2-emissions-from-coal-in-g20-analysis-finds\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/6-384\/\">Australia has highest per capita CO2 emissions from coal in G20, analysis finds<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,955,703,575],"class_list":["post-116677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-coal","tag-emissions","tag-environmental-news-en"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116677","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116677"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116677\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
