Summary
DescriptionShare-electricity-gas.svg
English: Gas is now the second largest source of electricity production globally.
Its contribution is growing quickly in many countries as they substitute it for coal in the electricity mix. From a climate perspective, this transition is positive since gas typically emits less CO2 per unit of energy. But, we still ultimately want to shift away from gas towards low-carbon sources such as renewables and nuclear.
