[New] By 2030 in IEA's scenario, a mere decade away, the share of the world's electricity drawn from renewable resources will have doubled. China aims to increase the share of non-fossil fuels in primary energy consumption to around 25% by 2030, up from 15.3% in 2019, and aspires to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. We expect the United States' share of global GDP to decline from 2021 onwards, and for the country to eventually be overtaken by China as the world's largest economy. Renewables increased their share of electricity generation to nearly 9% in 2020, twice as high as in 2015 and are expected to undergo additional growth. Based on the high renewables' scenario of the European Commission's Energy Roadmap 2050, which calls for a 97% share of renewable energy sources by 2050, a significant change in the European power generation mix is expected.

By 2030, the share of VRE curtailment will be 10-30% in Sweden, which provides the most incentives for renewable hydrogen.
