Energy generation underpins national development and economic growth, but expanding populations have escalated global energy demand. To meet these power requirements, many economies have turned to carbon dioxide emitting resources, exacerbating climate change, ozone layer depletion, and global warming. Replacing fossil fuel power with renewable energy sources is essential to meet zero emission targets. An examination of global greenhouse gas potentials, energy demand, electricity generation by source, and consumption inequalities underscores the necessity of restructuring the international energy mix. Shifting to renewable energy technologies offers developmental benefits and practical techniques for clean power generation. To accelerate this transition, policy interventions are required, including the polluter pays principle to charge polluters according to their emissions and the introduction of tariffs to support renewable energy adoption.
Meeting rising energy needs without accelerating climate change requires transforming how the world generates electricity. By highlighting global inequalities in energy consumption and the ecological impacts of carbon emissions, this work shows why shifting to renewable sources is critical. It also outlines policy mechanisms, such as pollution charges, that can guide governments toward cleaner, more sustainable energy systems.
The abstract focuses on high level energy policy analysis and environmental assessments rather than specific commercial technologies. While it references renewable energy techniques and development benefits alongside policy mechanisms like pollution charges and tariffs, it does not detail proprietary systems or specific market products. Consequently, the findings represent conceptual, macro level guidance aimed at policymakers and energy planners rather than an immediate commercialisation pathway.

Generating supply energy is an important tool for every country since the country’s development and economic growth lie in energy. Issues about the depletion of the ozone layer and climate change have recently become a global concern. However, the increase in population has also yielded an increase in energy demand. This has compelled several economies to adopt emission-generation energy resources from power generation to meet this demand without impacting the environment. this study therefore outlines the need to embrace renewable energies globally to eliminate these challenges faced by countries globally from emission-generated energies. It outlines some of the renewable energy technologies benefits and techniques for development. The manuscript discusses the electricity generation from CO 2 emission and its environmental effect. It also analyses the worldwide potential of greenhouse gases and inequalities by consumption as well as energy demand and electricity generation by source. This manuscript outlines the impact of energy generation from CO 2 emission sources impact on the environment such as climate change and global warming and the need to replace them with environmentally friendly Renewable sources to achieve the zero-emission goal. The role of renewable energy as an alternative to be adopted globally for energy generation in place of CO 2 emission generation sources has also been outlined. Policies to overcome these challenges to the environment have been proposed such as the polluter pays policy where people pay more as they pollute, and the implementation of tariffs on renewable energy use. This manuscript provides useful information that helps to understand the need to adopt renewable as the main source in the global energy mix. It also adds to the existing information to overcome pollution from CO 2 emissions.
