(in billion U.S. dollars) The statistic represents global new investments in renewable energy in 2015, broken down by sector. In the geothermal sector, the value of such investments came to around 2 billion U.S. dollars in 2015. Sources: Statista, Bloomberg, UNEP Total values include estimates for undisclosed deals.Continue Reading
(in million metric tons of oil equivalent)* The statistic shows the renewable energy consumption of the leading renewable energy consuming countries worldwide in 2015. The basis of information is the gross energy production from renewable sources such as geothermal, wind, solar energy, biomass, and waste. Cross-border electricity trade was not taken into account. The conversion...Continue Reading
Between 2013 and 2014 (the latest time frame EU-wide figures are available), Sweden had the greatest renewable energy share (RES) in the European Union, 51 percent. The UK is at the very opposite end of the spectrum with renewables accounting for a mere 5.7 percent of energy generation. (source: statista)Continue Reading
