According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), ''access to electricity'' involves more than just electricity delivery to a household. It also includes a requirement for households to consume a certain minimum amount of electricity, which differs based on whether the household is in a rural or urban area, and this threshold increases over time.
Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product. It effectively measures how efficiently a country uses energy to produce a given amount of economic output. A lower energy intensity means it needs less energy per unit of GDP. This interactive chart shows energy intensity.

Energy Mix. Explore global data on where our energy comes from, and how this is changing. This page was first published in July 2020 and last revised in January 2024. Energy production – mainly the burning of fossil fuels – accounts for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions.
This article focuses on the quantity of energy we consume — looking at total energy and electricity consumption; how countries compare when we look at this per person; and
Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product. It effectively measures how efficiently a country uses energy to produce a given amount of economic output. A lower energy intensity means it needs less energy per unit of GDP. This interactive chart shows energy intensity.
In the United States, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), published in 2023 zero net energy and zero net carbon standards for buildings operations. Direct CO2 emissions from buildings decreased to 3 Gt in 2022, while indirect CO2 emissions increased to nearly 6.8 Gt.

World Energy Outlook 2022 - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency. With the world in the midst of the first global energy crisis – triggered by Russia''s invasion of Ukraine – the World Energy Outlook 2022 (WEO) provides indispensable analysis and insights on the implications of this profound and ongoing
Renewable energy''s share of total global energy consumption was just 19.1% in 2020, according to the latest UN tracking report, but one-third of that came from
Germany: Energy Country Profile. Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix.

Environment-biased technological progress plays a critical role in carbon reduction, while the association among environment-biased technological progress, energy consumption, and carbon emissions has not been paid enough attention. Working with a unique spatial panel dataset of APEC economies spanning the 2000–2017 period, we
The World Energy Outlook 2023 provides in-depth analysis and strategic insights into every aspect of the global energy system. Against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions and fragile energy markets, this year''s report explores how structural shifts in economies and in energy use are shifting the way that the world meets rising demand for
Four provinces and one city in East China are affected by their respective loads and resource endowments, and the level of clean energy development varies greatly from province to province, which is overall not enough to achieve the 3060 target, and the level of clean energy utilization needs to be improved. Considering the defects of long
But investments in renewable energy will pay off. The reduction of pollution and climate impacts alone could save the world up to $4.2 trillion per year by 2030. Moreover, efficient, reliable
About this report. The IEA''s Tracking Clean Energy Progress (TCEP) assesses recent developments for over 50 components of the energy system that are critical for clean energy transitions. The components assessed include sectors, subsectors, technologies, infrastructure and cross-cutting strategies. Where do we need to go?
Sweden: Energy Country Profile. Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.
With this China has reached the target of raising the share of non-fossil energy to 15 percent in total energy consumption by 2020. The number of new energy vehicles is rising rapidly. In 2019 the total number of new energy vehicles reached 3.8 million, with 1.2 million new energy vehicles going on road that year.
This paper aims to investigate the heterogeneous patterns of clean energy consumption at business cycle frequencies from 1970 to 2017. Specifically, the paper provides a systematic analysis of this relationship in a comprehensive cross-country panel by extracting the cyclical components of the clean energy consumption and gross
To ensure everyone has access to clean and safe energy, we need to understand energy consumption and its impacts around the world today and how this has changed over time. On this page, you can find all our
This study examines the effects of clean energy consumption, green innovation, and technological diffusion on environmental sustainability from 1990 to 2018 in selected European Union countries. This relationship has been frequently examined in the literature within the framework of the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis.
Clean energy is moving towards centre stage in the global energy system – and as its importance rises, a new clean energy economy is emerging. Clean
The IEA''s Tracking Clean Energy Progress (TCEP) assesses recent developments for over 50 components of the energy system that are critical for clean energy transitions. The components assessed include sectors,
Concern about climate change is spreading around the globe. The urge to comprehend the environmental effects and take action is sharply rising. Regarding this, the banking industry has a great chance to offer a solution in terms of green financial solutions and can meet the needs of carbon-conscious organizations to combat and defend our

For clean energy consumption, British Petroleum [34] is accessed, and data on clean energy consumption (nuclear, renewables, and hydro) is collected in Exajoules and transformed into per capita. The news-based EPU index of Baker et al. [ 6 ] is used to proxy economic policy uncertainty.
Energy is crucial for growth, but over-reliance on fossil energy undermines sustainability. COP27 has emphasized over transition towards clean energy. Empirical studies have pointed out that energy transition requires infrastructure development which is costly in the short run. Global and national efforts to transition to

Clean energy accounted for 10% of global GDP growth in 2023. Our new country-by-country and sector-by-sector analysis finds that in 2023, clean energy added around USD 320 billion to the world economy. This represented 10% of global GDP growth – equivalent to more than the value added by the global aerospace industry in 2023, or to
We demonstrate empirically how external shocks can weaken newly poverty-relieved villages'' ability to use clean energy—in this case, residential electricity consumption. A household electricity consumption dataset in over 700 poverty-stricken villages spanning from January 2016 to June 2020 has been compiled.
In an evaluation of 22 OECD nations from 1990 to 2014, Pham (2019) unearths that financial development plays a central part in the progress of biomass and non-biomass renewable technologies.Eren et al.
