IEA Urges to Halt Fossil Fuel Investment: Green Stocks to Gain
In its latest released ‘special report,’ the International Energy Agency (IEA) has offered a landmark roadmap, which according to the organization, is the need of the hour for the global energy sector to duly achieve its net-zero carbon dioxide emission target by 2050.
Notably, IEA’s “Net Zero by 2050 Roadmap” advises an immediate and massive deployment of all available clean and efficient energy technologies, along with a rapid decline in the use of coal, oil and gas.
What Does IEA Suggest?
Per IEA’s latest report, although global commitments and actions taken by governments and corporates to promote clean energy are growing rapidly, they will still fall well short of the 2050 target. So, for the effective transition to a net-zero energy system by 2050, IEA has set out more than 400 milestones, including zero investment in new fossil fuel supply projects. It also entails halting sales of new internal combustion engine passenger cars by 2035, and phasing out all unabated coal and oil power plants by 2040.
Moreover, with the electricity industry having become the core of the energy sector, electricity generation needs to reach net-zero emissions globally in 2040. Further, electric vehicles (EVs) should go from around 5% of global car sales to more than 60% by 2030.
How Will Green Energy Benefit?
On the renewables front, IEA has called for a massive ramp up in installations in the coming year, for successfully meeting the zero emissions target by 2050. Notably, the report advises that annual additions should be 630 gigawatts (GW) of solar photovoltaics (PV) and 390 GW of wind by 2030.
IEA also believes that to reach net zero emissions by 2050, annual clean energy investment worldwide will need to more than triple by 2030 to around $4 trillion. Moreover, almost 90% of global electricity generation in 2050 should come from renewable sources, with solar PV and wind together accounting for nearly 70%.
No doubt, such installation ramps up along with an increasing investment trend, as suggested by IEA, would boost renewable stocks, also known as green energy stocks.
Stocks to Gain
Considering the aforementioned factors, stocks from the clean energy industry as well as stocks from other industries that are involved in the renewables market should gain substantially in the coming years. Their strong fundamentals should also encourage investors to keep them on their watchlist.
