In contrast, the fossil fuel use per unit of GDP
decreased steadily, driven primarily by greater
energy efficiency and structural change (e.g. lower primary
energy consumption per unit GDP).
The estimated value of global fossil - fuel
consumption subsidies
decreased by 15 % to $ 260 billion
in 2016, the lowest level since the International
Energy Agency started tracking these subsidies
in the World
Energy Outlook (WEO) ten years ago.
From 2010 to 2011, CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion
decreased by 2.5 % due to: (1) a
decrease in coal
consumption, with increased natural gas
consumption and a significant increase
in hydropower used; (2) a
decrease in transportation - related
energy consumption due to higher fuel costs, improvements
in fuel efficiency, and a reduction
in miles travelled; and (3) relatively mild winter conditions resulting
in an overall
decrease in energy demand
in most sectors.
Due to the lack of domestic oil sources, the French government has encouraged the use of nuclear power as an alternative
energy source to oil where possible, and the proportion of France's total
energy consumption derived from oil
decreased from 71 percent
in 1973 to 39 percent
in 2003.
The
decrease is based on a 6.1 % growth
in GDP measured against a 3.04 % increase
in energy consumption.
Population density also lowers
energy and water use
in all categories, constrains family size, limits the
consumption of all kinds of goods, reduces ownership of wasteful appliances,
decreases the generation of solid waste, and forces most residents to live
in some of the world's most inherently
energy - efficient residential structures: apartment buildings.
