The largest increases in energy demand will take place in developing countries where the
proportion of global energy consumption is expected to increase from 46 to 58 percent between 2004 and 2030 (EIA, 2007).
As highlighted in IEA's World Energy Outlook 2016, the challenge is to increase reliance on renewable energy in the heat and transport sectors, which account for the
bulk of global energy consumption.
What's more, under current global agricultural activity, nitrogen fertilisation is already responsible for 1.5
percent of global energy consumption, being in itself an indirect CO2 source.
Renewable energy is making impressive gains in the electricity sector, although these are not being matched in transportation and heating — which together account for 80 %
of global energy consumption.
The IEA Family of 30 Member countries and seven Association countries now accounts for more than 70 %
of global energy consumption, up from less than 40 % in 2015.
Hydroelectricity was the next largest renewable source, providing 3 %
of global energy consumption and 15 % of global electricity generation.
The IEA Family, including member states and seven Association countries, now accounts for more than 70 %
of global energy consumption, up from less than 40 % in 2015.
We are about 15 %
of the global energy consumption.
Depending how it's tallied, fossil fuels account for between 85 - 88 %
of global energy consumption and more than 95 % of energy for the transport of people and goods, including our food.
Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash mining is using a total of 0.13 percent
of the global energy consumption — which ranks the combined mining operation as the 61st highest power consumer in the World.
