"According to a recent report from Ember , a think tank focused on moving the planet away from coal to what it calls"clean electricity," fossil fuels were responsible for 37% of EU electricity generation in 2021. Breaking down the above figure, Ember's report — published in February — said fossil gas power produced 18% of the EU's electricity, a three-year low. Renewables were responsible for 37%, while nuclear produced 26% of the bloc's electricity last year, Ember said.
