What & Why
Reductions in GHG emissions are dependent on where the electricity is coming from. Coal still plays a major role in many countries including China, India, Australia, US, Indonesia, Russian and Japan. Countries that generate most of their electricity from renewables include: • Iceland 100% • Costa Rica 99% • Uruguay 98% • Norway 97% • New Zealand 84% • Denmark 81% • Canada 68% • Sweden 68% • Portugal 61%
