Utilizing clean energy sources has minimal negative environmental impacts, and both their production and consumption processes lead to reduced carbon emissions and other pollutants. These energy sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, and geothermal power, which harness natural and renewable resources to mitigate climate change and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Given the environmental crises and the need to lower greenhouse gas emissions, investing in and developing these energy sources has become a global necessity.
It is predicted that global spending on clean energy will reach a total of $5.6 trillion between 2022 and 2030, driven by the need to replace carbon-based resources such as coal and oil. Although this investment is crucial for mitigating climate change, current funding is insufficient to meet the targets set by the Paris Agreement, according to S&P Global reports. Additionally, achieving these financial goals will require coordinated efforts and support from governments and the private sector to make significant strides in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The chart above shows where investments will be allocated over the next decade based on S&P Global’s forecasts.
By 2030, global investment in solar energy is expected to reach $2.8 trillion, making it the largest investment among renewable energy sources. This investment in solar power accounts for nearly half of the total global budget, with 26% allocated to smaller solar systems such as residential and commercial solar panels. In comparison, large-scale solar is projected to receive 23% of the incoming funds by 2030.
Global investment in solar energy reflects the growing importance of this energy source in meeting global energy needs and combating climate change. With solar power emerging as the primary investment among renewable sources, this highlights the increasing confidence in the potential of this technology to provide sustainable energy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Additionally, with ongoing advancements in solar panel technologies and declining costs, solar energy’s share of global energy supply is expected to rise significantly, positioning it as a cornerstone of future energy strategies.
Wind energy is expected to attract the second-largest share of investment, amounting to a total of $1.9 trillion. A significant portion of this investment will be allocated to onshore wind projects (20%), while offshore wind energy (generated in wind farms located in bodies of water) is expected to receive $774.2 billion, or 14% of the estimated budget. Both the United States and the European Union have introduced incentives, including new tax credits, to promote offshore wind development. This focus on offshore wind is particularly aligned with goals to reduce carbon emissions and ensure sustainable energy supplies in the near future.
According to current S&P Global forecasts, annual investment in renewable energy will reach $700 billion by 2050. However, under the net-zero model (aiming to balance greenhouse gas emissions with removal), achieving zero emissions by 2050 will require an annual investment of $1.4 trillion. This substantial investment underscores the urgent need to enhance energy production and consumption methods and to provide strong support for green innovations and technologies.
The beginning of our activity goes back to 2012, since that time, with the expertise in the design, construction and installation of solar power plants, we wanted a superior position in this field.
