What the source says

Based on today’s policy settings, the report finds that low-emissions sources are set to generate more than half of the world’s electricity before 2030 – and demand for all three fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – is still projected to peak by the end of the decade.

Checked: the figure 50% is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
