Bar chart race of G20 member's Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) from 1990 to 2020

Renewable energy consumption is the share of renewables energy in total final energy consumption. (World Bank)

Renewable energy sources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass provide sustainable, low-emission alternatives to fossil fuels, supported by technological advancements, decreasing costs, and government policies, despite challenges in infrastructure and grid integration.
Brazil relies on hydropower and bioenergy, with policies like PROINFA and net metering, while India rapidly expands solar and wind capacity through initiatives like the National Solar Mission and Renewable Purchase Obligations, driven by strong policy support.
United States uses a diverse renewable mix with federal and state incentives, China leads in solar and wind with significant government support, and Germany and the UK focus on comprehensive policies and investments to transition to renewables.
