World energy supply and consumption

World energy supply and consumption covers the global production, trade and use of energy resources, whether raw or processed, including coal, oil, gas and uranium. Global energy consumption has been rising by roughly 1 to 2 percent a year, and as of 2022 about 80 percent of it still came from fossil fuels, even as renewable energy grew rapidly, averaging about a 20 percent annual increase through the 2010s. Energy use produced about 36 billion tonnes of the roughly 50 billion tonnes of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2021, almost all of it from fossil fuels. Wealthier, industrialized countries consume far more energy per person than lower income countries, and major exporters such as the Gulf states and Russia supply importers including the European Union and China; a severe shortfall in supply is called an energy crisis.
