Global natural gas consumption increases more than 40 between 2018 and 2050 and total consumption reaches nearly 200.
Global energy consumption graph.
In this interactive chart we see the share of primary energy consumption that came from renewable technologies the combination of hydropower solar wind geothermal wave tidal and modern biofuels traditional biomass which can be an important energy source in lower income settings is not included.
Firstly global average per capita energy consumption has been consistently increasing.
Figure 4 shows that there is a distinct bend in the graph about 1950 when population started rising faster at the same time that energy consumption started rising more quickly.
If we look at 10 year percentage changes in world population and energy use this is the pattern we see.
Energy consumption increased at a slower pace than in previous years in china 3 2 the world s largest consumer since 2009 in russia 1 8 and in india 0 8 only.
Between 1970 2014 average consumption has increased by approximately 45 percent.
This growth in per capita energy consumption does however vary significantly between countries and regions.
It allows to browse data through intuitive maps and graphs for a visual analysis of the latest trends in the energy industry.
Africa the special focus of weo 2019 is increasingly influential for global energy trends.
In the stated policies scenario the rise in africa s oil consumption to 2040 is larger than that of china while the continent also sees a major expansion in natural gas use prompted in part by a series of large discoveries made in recent years.
To evaluate this we need to plot the global population and the total energy consumption on the same graph to see if the rise in population matches the rise in energy consumption.
By 2040 renewable energy consumption is expected to increase and will reach about.
Worldwide renewable energy consumption increases by 3 1 per year between 2018 and 2050 compared with 0 6 annual growth in petroleum and other liquids 0 4 growth in coal and 1 1 annual growth in natural gas consumption.
Here we will explore a few possibilities the first of which is global population increase more people on the planet leads to a greater total energy consumption.
On production consumption and trade of oil gas coal power and renewables.
For 2013 estimated world energy consumption was 5 67 10 20 joules or 157 481 twh.
The united states energy information administration eia regularly publishes a report on world consumption for most types of primary energy resources.
