In the next 25 years renewables will be the fastest growing source of power, but fossil fuels will remain the dominant force for providing energy. <\/p>\n
Despite governments all over the world aiming to cut down carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy, carbon will rise by 43%. This is according to the Energy Information Administration\u2019s (EIA) annual global projections. <\/p>\n
The report says that energy use will rise 2.8% ever year, but world renewables will only generate 15% of this. <\/p>\n
In this scenario, carbon emissions will rise from 30.2 billion tons in 2008 to 43.2 billion tons in 2035. The rise is because of developing nations using more energy, countries in Asia in particular.
\n
\nEIA administrator Howard Gruenspecht said: \u201cChina alone, which only recently became the world\u2019s top energy consumer, is projected to use 68% more energy than the United States by 2035.\u201d <\/p>\n
This puts world energy use to 619 quadrillion British thermal units in 2035. <\/p>\n
According to EIA, China and India were the countries least affected from the global economic crisis. This has allowed them to become strong economically and they\u2019ll use 31% of world energy in 25 years. <\/p>\n
The report suggests that natural gas will have the fastest growth out of the fossil fuels. It will rise 1.6% each year. <\/p>\n
The UK government is trying to encourage the uptake of renewables by offering schemes to reward consumers. <\/p>\n
For homes there is the Feed-in tariff scheme (FITs) which pays homeowners for every unit of electricity they generate with renewable technology. <\/p>\n
Free electricity can be generated at all times of the year with products like solar panels and heat pumps. With these you\u2019ll save money on your bills and reduce the carbon emissions your home creates.<\/p>\n
They both require very little maintenance after installation and will provide your home with electricity even in the winter. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
