Listen up, energy sceptics – today’s report from the IPCC has found that not only will renewable energy provide most of the world’s energy needs by 2050, it’s going to have an indispensable role in mitigating catastrophic climate change.

The 900-page renewable energy bible, published today by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change also highlights the benefits of harnessing the unlimited potential of solar, wind and hydro. And the statistics speak for themselves.  Just 2.5% of renewable energy – a fraction of viable sources available - could meet up to 80% of the global energy demand of the future.
