Some key highlights of the Energy Institute’s Statistical Review of World Energy from Reuters are given below. Global CO2 emissions rose by 1.1%, global oil consumption rose by 1.3%, and global electricity demand rose by 3%. This simply shows that the world still needs more energy.
The key highlights given in the actual report are below:
The following graphs are all from the report.
Renewables led energy supply
growth by a significant margin. However, growth in total fossil fuels nearly doubled that of renewables.
North America, especially the
U.S., led the increase in CO2 emissions by a wide margin. In fact, it was the
only global region to show an increase in emissions.
Global energy demand growth
was dominated by the Asia-Pacific region.
China continues to lead in
electrification, having surpassed the U.S. and the E.U. between 2010 and 2015.
Total energy supply in the
world continues to be dominated by fossil fuels: oil, natural gas, and coal.
Europe leads in non-fossil fuel share of total energy, followed closely by Central and South
America, and distantly by North America.
U.S. oil and gas exports
continue to grow, both via LNG and pipelines.
The U.S. dominates in total
clean hydrogen production and blue hydrogen production. Asia dominates in green
hydrogen production, followed distantly by Europe. Blue hydrogen leads in clean
hydrogen production at 70.7% compared to 29.3% for green hydrogen.
The U.S. dominated increases
in coal consumption, followed distantly by China and non-China Asia Pacific.
Global lithium production is
skyrocketing. Rare Earths production is also climbing. Other energy transition
minerals, such as cobalt, are climbing at a slower rate.
