Energy production and consumption play a significant role in the global economy. It is needed in industry and global transportation. The total energy supply chain, from production to final consumption, involves many activities that cause a loss of useful energy. [3] As of 2022, energy consumption is still about 80% from fossil fuels. [4]
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
About a fifth of global energy is consumed as electricity: for residential, industrial, commercial, transportation and other purposes. [2] The global electricity consumption in 2022 was 24,398 terawatt-hour (TWh), almost exactly three times the amount of consumption in 1981 (8,132 TWh). [3] [failed verification] China, the United States, and ...
By 2025, Asia is projected to account for half of the world’s electricity consumption, with one-third of global electricity to be consumed in China. [1] This list of countries by electric energy consumption is mostly based on the Energy Information Administration. [2]

The energy mix is a group of different primary energy sources from which secondary energy for direct use - such as electricity - is produced. [1] Energy mix refers to all direct uses of energy, such as transportation and housing, and should not be confused with power generation mix, which refers only to generation of electricity, [ 2 ] as ...
Renewable energy sources are even larger than the traditional fossil fuels and in theory can easily supply the world's energy needs. 89 PW [32] of solar power falls on the planet's surface. While it is not possible to capture all, or even most, of this energy, capturing less than 0.02% would be enough to meet the current energy needs.
Social Progress Index vs Energy Use per capita, 2015. List of countries by Social Progress Index. World energy consumption per capita based on 2021 data. This is a list of countries by total energy consumption per capita. This is not the consumption of end-users but all energy needed as input to produce fuel and electricity for end-users.
