The Harmony goal, put forward on behalf of the nuclear industry by World Nuclear Association, is a vision of a future energy system where nuclear energy supplies 25 %
of global electricity demand by 2050 as part of a low - carbon generation mix, which would require 1000 GW of new nuclear build.
The growing use of air conditioners in homes and offices around the world will be one of the top
drivers of global electricity demand over the next three decades, according to new analysis by the International Energy Agency that stresses the urgent need for policy action to improve cooling efficiency.
The annual potential of solar energy far exceeds the world's energy consumption, but the goal of using the sun to provide a significant
fraction of global electricity demand is far from being realized.
Bearing in mind the portfolio of other renewable energy technologies available, 2 percent of electricity generation from perennial biomass in 2050 still comprises a significant
portion of global electricity demand.
All wind turbines installed by end of 2017 can cover more than 5 %
of the global electricity demand.
