THE STORY BEHIND THE CHART
The story behind the numbers
This indicator measures renewables in total final energy consumption, including heat and transport. Traditional biomass can contribute substantially in lower-income economies. A high share therefore needs context about technologies, energy access and how energy is used.
THE TAKEAWAY
Renewable energy includes far more than electricity.
Read the numbers carefully
Share of total final energy consumption. Includes traditional biomass.
