In 2006, about 18 % of global final energy consumption came from renewables, with 13 % coming from traditional biomass, such as wood - burning. (phys.org)
All four scenarios, however, project falling final energy consumption, despite continued growth in economic activity and energy services across all sectors of the economy. (powermag.com)
