A few points to note about this data: Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings.

Italy last year increased its production of electricity from coal to 7.5% of its total generation, up from 4.6% in 2021, as it sought to offset the loss of natural gas from Russia after that
