Climate in Numbers: A ship full of solar vs. a hundred coal ships

A new IEA report shows how much more efficient renewable energies are compared to fossil fuels. Find out the details in Table.Briefings.
It is a drastic example of how much better the energy yield of renewables is compared to fossil fuels: A single ship full of PV modules could provide the means to generate as much electricity as would be possible with 50 tankers filled with gas or 100 ships full of coal. This is according to calculations by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its new "Energy Technology Perspectives 2024" report: It compares the electricity that can be generated from PV modules over 40 years with electricity from coal, which is generated quickly via combustion but gives off a large amount of its energy as heat.
