The share of coal, oil and natural gas in global energy supply – stuck for decades around 80% – starts to edge downwards and reaches 73% in the STEPS by 2030. This is an
We''re in the midst of an energy transition that continues to evolve.
Global electricity production 1990-2022. Global electricity generation has increased significantly over the past three decades, rising from less than 12,000 terawatt-hours in 1990 to over 29,000
It is the production of energy that is responsible for 87% of global greenhouse gas emissions and as the chart below shows, people in the richest countries have the very highest emissions. But for the global

Production; Liquid fuels remain the largest energy source in the Reference case, but renewable energy use grows to nearly the same level By 2050, global energy use in the Reference case increases nearly 50% compared with 2020—mostly a result of non-OECD economic growth and population, particularly in
There are five energy-use sectors, and the amounts—in quadrillion Btu (or quads)—of their primary energy consumption in 2022 were:; electric power 37.75 quads; transportation 27.47 quads; industrial 23.18 quads; residential 7.11 quads; commercial 4.90 quads; In 2022, the electric power sector accounted for about 96% of total U.S. utility-scale electricity
The world lacks a safe, low-carbon, and cheap large-scale energy infrastructure. Until we scale up such an energy infrastructure, the world will continue to face two energy problems: hundreds of millions of people lack
Global generation of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy – alongside hydropower – is one of our oldest low-carbon energy technologies. Nuclear power generation has existed since the 1960s but saw massive growth globally in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. The interactive chart shows how global nuclear generation has changed over the past half-century.

Our 2022 Global Energy Perspective presents a new suite of five energy scenarios . Annual investments in energy supply and production are expected to double by 2035 to reach $1.5 trillion to $1.6 trillion¹; almost all growth
World energy production amounted to 617 EJ in 2019 – a 2% increase from 2018. This increase was mostly driven by natural gas (+4%) and coal (+2%), though some
This flagship publication of the IEA has appeared every year since 1998. Its objective data and dispassionate analysis provide critical insights into global energy supply and demand in different scenarios and the implications for
About this report. As the world enters a second year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual Global Energy Review assesses the direction energy demand and carbon dioxide emissions are taking in 2021. The latest statistical data and real-time analysis confirm our initial estimates for 2020 energy demand and CO2 emissions while providing
Rising demand for energy services to 2040 is underpinned by economic growth, which is lower to 2030 than in last year''s Outlook but which averages 2.8% per year through to 2050. The world''s population rises from 7.8 billion people in 2021 to 9.7 billion in 2050, an increase of almost one-quarter. These economic and demographic assumptions
On this basis, McKinsey''s Global Energy Insights team has put together a description of the global energy landscape to 2050. It is important to remember that this is a business-as-usual scenario. That is, it does not anticipate big disruptions in either the production or use of energy. And, of course, predicting the future of anything is
It currently constitutes less than 1% of global energy production. It is an energy that is always present and exploitable, regardless of both the short and long-term weather conditions of the
Throughout the 1900s, the world adopted a broader range of sources. First oil, gas, then hydropower. It wasn''t until the 1960s that nuclear energy was added to the mix. What are often referred to as ''modern renewables'' – solar and wind – were only added much later, in the 1980s.What stands out from this 200-year history of global
Energy production – mainly the burning of fossil fuels – accounts for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. Not only is energy production the largest driver of climate change, but the burning of fossil
The chart below shows the percentage of global electricity production that comes from nuclear or renewable energy, such as solar, wind, hydropower, wind and tidal, and some biomass. Globally, more than a third of our electricity comes from low-carbon sources. However, the majority is still generated from fossil fuels, predominantly coal and gas
The global energy crisis was not a clean energy crisis, but it has focused attention on the importance of ensuring rapid, people-centred and orderly transitions. Exploration and production investments are rising around the world for critical minerals like lithium, cobalt, nickel and rare earths, but the share of the top three producers in

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
In 2019, world gross electricity production was 1.3% higher than 2018. Global electricity production has grown each year continuously since 1974, except for between 2008 and 2009, when the global financial crisis sharply cut demand. In 2019, non‑OECD countries'' share of production reached 58.6% of world electricity generation - more than
The International Energy Outlook 2023 (IEO2023) explores long-term energy trends across the world through 2050. Since our last IEO two years ago, IEO2021, the global energy system has evolved against a backdrop of new energy policies, the transition to zero-carbon technologies, energy security concerns, and economic and
In our estimate for 2020, global electricity demand falls by 5%, with 10% reductions in some regions. Low-carbon sources would far outstrip coal-fired generation globally, extending the lead established in 2019. Global CO 2 emissions are expected to decline by 8%, or almost 2.6 gigatonnes (Gt), to levels of 10 years ago.
