Over the last two decades, renewable energy consumption has increased dramatically. Among all countries globally, China had the largest installed renewable energy capacity as of 202, followed by the United States. Read more Energy consumption worldwide from 2000 to 2022, with a forecast until 2050...
RWE, a German energy company, has recently provided its view of world energy supply and demand to the year 2050. Of particular interest are the forecast associated with Europe's supply and demand of anthracite, bituminous coal, woody lignite and soft lignite. Key findings of the RWE study are...
According to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy, world primary energy consumption reached 13,147 million tons of oil equivalent in 2015 (BP 2016). From 2010 to 2015, world primary energy consumption grew at an average annual rate of 1.5 percent. World oil consumption (including biofuels)...
World industrial sector energy use was forecast to increase by more than 30 percent between 2018 and 2050 as consumption of goods increases. The industrial sector, which includes refining, mining, manufacturing, agriculture, and construction, accounts for the largest share of energy consumption of any...

Figure 4. World energy consumption forecast, based on BP Statistical Review of World Energy data through 2015, and author’s estimates for 2016 and 2017. In a way, this is an optimistic assessment, because we know that efforts are underway to reduce oil production, in order to prop up pric...
This paper forecasts the prospects for world energy of the year 2020.The demand of world primary energy in 1995 could be converted into 8.341 billion tons of oil,and the demand in 2020 will amount to 13.749 billion tons of oil .In this development the demand of primary energy from developing...
Fig. 1 shows world primary energy consumption and substitution starting in the year 1850. The black curves correspond to actual historical data taken from [21]. The color Results Returning to Fig. 1, we see that in 1850, wood, agricultural residues and animal dung contributed approximately 80...
World primary energy consumption is projected to peak in 2035, when the world primary energy consumption rises to 15,914 million metric tons of oil-equivalent. By 2050, world primary energy consumption is projected to fall to 14,906 million metric tons of oil-equivalent. ...
Energy developments Primary energy consumption fell by 4.5% in 2020 – the largest decline since 1945. The drop in energy consumption was driven mainly by oil, which contributed almost three-quarters of the net decline, although natural gas and coal also saw significant declines. Wind, solar...
