Renewable Energy GenerationRenewables in The ElectricitymixHydropowerWind EnergySolar EnergyBiofuelsGeothermalHow much of our electricity comes from renewables?In the sections above we looked at the role of renewables in the total energymix. This includes not only electricity but also transport and heating. Electricity forms only one component of energy consumption. Since transport and heating tend to be harder to decarbonize – they are more reliant on oil and gas – rSee more on ourworldindata Global Energy Monitor
