Abstract

The transition to renewable energy in buildings, industry, transport, and agriculture is falling behind, with 12.7% of energy in these sectors coming from renewables. Despite the urgent need for targeted policies, progress is slow: by 2023, only 13 countries had comprehensive renewable energy policies across all key sectors.
This report, the second module in REN21’s Renewables 2024 Global Status Report (GSR) collection, demonstrates the disconnect between energy supply and demand that is currently slowing the energy transition. The message is clear: accelerating renewables adoption in critical sectors like buildings, industry, transport, and agriculture is essential for emissions reduction and economic prosperity. Without significant demand-side advancements, a shift to a renewable-based energy system and economy remains out of reach.
