DESCRIPTION:China\, US\, India\, Japan and Russia are the top five countrie
 s in terms of electricity generation capacity. Between them they had a tot
 al capacity of 3\,650 million kW in 2016. In terms of fuel sources for ele
 ctricity coal\, natural gas\, hydro\, nuclear\, renewables and oil provide
 d 38.3%\, 22.9%\, 16.3%\, 10.2%\, 9% and 3.3% respectively in 2017. This m
 eans almost two-thirds of the global electricity production came from foss
 il fuels in that year. This is reflected in about 10 billion tons of CO2 f
 rom electricity generation or about a third of the global production. Howe
 ver\, this mix is expected to change significantly in the next 10 years. B
 y 2030 installed power generation capacities from wind\, solar PV\, hydro 
 power\, nuclear and thermal are going to reach 540 GW\, 420 GW\, 530 GW\, 
 160 GW and 1200 GW respectively. The top five CO2 emitting countries are: 
 China\, United States\, India\, Russian Federation and Japan. However\, CO
 2 is not the only concern against global warming. The Global Warming Poten
 tials (GWP) of greenhouse gases are as follows: CO2 (1)\, Methane (28)\, H
 ydro fluorocarbons (138)\, Nitrous oxide (265)\, Per fluorocarbons (6\,630
 ) and Sulphur hexafluoride (23\,500). So\, the bottom line is: Efforts in 
 the electric power sector to replace fossil fuel with renewables and nucle
 ar will help. But if emission from the transportation sector continues to 
 rise\, the drop in power sector contributions will not be enough. Large sc
 ale Electric Vehicle deployment will help\, but question remains – how w
 ill the EV be powered.\n\nSpeaker(s): Prof. Saifur Rahman\, \n\nSydney\, N
