  [Quote: "With an increasing share of low-emissions sources, emission intensity of the world's power generation is set to decrease by an annual average rate of 4% from 460 g CO2/kWh in 2023 to 425 g CO2/kWh in 2025. The European Union is expected to see the highest rate of decline in emissions intensity, with an average annual reduction of 13%, from 205 g CO2/kWh in 2023 to 155 g CO2/kWh in 2025. China is also expected to see a strong decline (6% on average), from 595 g CO2/kWh in 2023 to 525 g CO2/kWh in 2025." Quote: "Data centres' global electricity use is currently limited but growing, with local bottlenecks already emerging. Electricity consumption of data centres (excluding cryptocurrencies) is estimated to account for about 1-1.3% of global electricity demand in 2022 and it could see this share rise to a range between 1.5-3% by 2026, according to recent IEA projections. By contrast, electric vehicles, despite their rapid growth, consumed a smaller 0.5% of the world's electricity in 2022, but their consumption is forecast to range from less than 1.5% to around 2% by 2026. By comparison, primary aluminium production, a very electricity-intensive process, currently consumes around 4% of the world's electricity."]
