Fossil fuels have surpassed renewables to become the European Union’s largest source of power generation as use of natural gas reached its highest point in a decade, the bloc’s statistics office said on Thursday.<\/h2>\n

\"\"While Eurostat says<\/strong> renewables topped the list in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic, the economic recovery<\/strong> saw the region’s electricity supply increase by 4%<\/strong> in 2021, with coal, oil<\/strong> and gas.<\/strong> Data showed that natural gas use, mostly imported from abroad, increased by around 4%<\/strong> in 2021<\/strong>, despite skyrocketing prices<\/strong> in the second half of the year.<\/p>\n

While prices continue to rise this year after Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine<\/strong>, the EU<\/strong> has activated sanctions against Russia<\/strong>, which is set to increase supply through a new pipeline to Germany<\/strong>. Production from brown coal increased by 16%<\/strong>, while other bituminous coal increased by more than a quarter. However, this is below pre-pandemic levels<\/strong> and the 2nd lowest point<\/strong> since 1990<\/strong>, according to Eurostat.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
