Growing demand for fossil fuel alongside renewable energy's expansion complicates the shift to lower carbon energy amid rising global temperatures surpassing 1.5C.
Despite a record high in renewable energy contribution, fossil fuel's share remained steady due to surging global energy demand, reaching 620 EJ with CO2 emissions exceeding 40 gigatonnes.
Shifts in fossil fuel use vary globally, with Europe witnessing a drop below 70% in fossil fuel energy share, while advanced economies show signs of peak demand contrasted by growth in the Global South.
