Global Energy Consumption: Trends, Shifts, and Future Outlook
Energy consumption is one of the strongest indicators of economic growth, technological development, and sustainability challenges.
In this infographic study, we examine live data to understand how fossil fuels, renewable sources, and electricity consumption are evolving globally.
World Energy Consumption Over Time
We start with a global view: how total energy consumption has changed in the past two decades.
Renewable Energy vs Fossil Fuels
The world is shifting — but how quickly? Let’s compare renewable energy consumption with fossil fuels.
Per Capita Electricity Usage
Energy access is uneven. Some regions consume 10x more electricity per capita than others. This chart highlights disparities across regions.
Conclusion
The data shows that while renewable adoption is accelerating, fossil fuels still dominate. The challenge for the next decade is to close the gap while ensuring equity in per-capita energy access.
