Weld Greenhouse gas emissions derived from human activities And the resulting increase in global temperatures is one of the main causes of climate change that influences our planet.
Of Called low carbon on the process with which a change is made In which, to give up fossil fuels such as energy sources, those who are renewable and carbon emissions are used.
Loose Governments and companies want to drastically reduce CO₂ emissions Worldwide to effectively stop climate change and to prevent its serious consequences, such as extreme events or rise in sea level.
Discarking in Andalusia
The Andalusian Agency of Energy, an entity that is affiliated with the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Mijnen, has published its annual Statistical Report ‘Energy Data from Andalusia 2023’, in which the most important size reflected the reality and energy evolution of the autonomous community, and and in which the Progression from the Andalusian economy to carbonThanks to a lower dependence on fossil fuels.
This is revealed in this energy balance The energy intensityThe most important indicator that measures the energy efficiency of an economy follows his downward trend and overcomes the lower value of the historic seriesBecause records will be reached in 2022 (94.9 tonnes of oil per million euros in 2023 compared to 101.9 of the previous year). To generate a GDP unit in Andalusia, 6.9% less energy is therefore required than a year earlier.
This has been possible thanks to the Download Consumption” Both primary energy (coal, oil, natural gas, sun or wind), Definitive energy 8th that the consumer has transformed for use in the form of electricity, liquid or solid fuels), which one decrease of 4.6% and 2.4%” respectivelyCompared to 2022.
Reduction of the primary and industrial sectors
The greatest reduction In absolute terms of final energy consumption, including non -energy use, it leads it The industrial sector” Immediately 10.9% decrease With regard to 2022, which represents 25.2% of all final energy in Andalusia. A decrease that took place in a year in which the gross added value (VAB) of the sector, including the construction, increased by around 0.3%, which demonstrates that the Andalusic industrial fabric is growing in a much more sustainable thanks to more energetically more efficient. Sources reduce its coal consumption (94.3%), biomass (51.4%) and oil products (14.4%), and increases that of electricity (2.4%) and gas of course (0.6 %).
The primary sectorwhich also represents 7.1% of the final consumption reduces its energy consumption by 7.5%. The diesel remains the most used energy source in the sector, with 85%, followed by electrical energy with 10.6%. For the third consecutive year, the Residential sectorWhat represents 13.8% of the final consumption registered a lower energy consumption, 3.2% less that in 2022.
On the other hand Find the service sector, which increases by 9.3% His energy demand and concentrates 10.7% of the total final energy consumption. Under its sources, it emphasizes the growth of electrical power consumption (5.9%), natural gas (17.3%) and liquid petroleum gases -GLP (80.8%).
To a lesser extent, The transport sector, which represents 43.2% of the total energy consumption End in Andalusia, consumption increases by 1.8%. In this sector, another year, the increase in the consumption of renewable energy consumption, 33.2%stands out, although oil derivatives with 93.7%remain the most used fuels.
He Latest energy consumption It increases in Malaga (4.3%), Almería (5.1%), Huelva (1%) and somewhat in Córdoba (0.2%). In the rest of the provinces, especially in Cádiz, (9.9%), followed by Jaén (8.5%), Granada (6.3%) and Seville (2.4%). Sevilla and Malaga are also still the most important last provinces of the last energy, followed by Cádiz. The three in total 54.2% of the consumption of the autonomous community.
Larger boost for renewable energy sources
In addition, in the statistical report of the agency, after collecting, contrasting and analyzing More than 3,000 data possess and come of more than 40 companies and organizations Such as the Ministry of Ecological Transition and Demography Electricity generation from renewable sources” Andalusia produced 10% more That the previous year up to a high degree up to a large year up to a large year reached 19,274.6 Gigavatios Hora (GWH), thanks to solar technology.
In that sense, Photovoltaic Electry Production grows 45.2% (2,837.6 Gigawatt -hour) and the Thermosolar rose 13.3% (273.1 Gigawatt -hour). On the contrary, biomass, wind and hydraulics decreased, among other things, the weather conditions for the weather conditions of drought that took place in that year. This clean electricity generation has preferred that for the production of a mega -duration in the Andalusian electric mix, the region one 53.5% less CO2 That in 2014.
The Publication ‘Energy Data’ It is one of the distribution products that are considered in the statistical and cartographic plan of Andalusia 2023-2029, within the framework of the activity that develops the statistical and cartographic unity of the Andalusian agency of energy. They were fulfilled in 2024 20 years of the first edition of this report, born with a calling of public services and with the intention of making the statistical information available for society that is needed to acquire a complete vision of the reality of Andalusia.
