Coal-fired power stations are the single largest emitter, with over 20% of global GhG in 2018.[83] Although much less polluting than coal plants, natural gas-fired power plants are also major emitters,[84] taking electricity generation as a whole over 25% in 2018.[85] Notably, just 5% of the world's power plants account for almost three-quarters of carbon emissions from electricity generation, based on an inventory of more than 29,000 fossil-fuel power plants across 221 countries.[86] In the 2022 IPCC report, it is noted that providing modern energy services universally would only increase greenhouse gas emissions by a few percent at most. This slight increase means that the additional energy demand that comes from supporting decent living standards for all would be far lower than current average energy consumption.[87]
