Petroleum is the primary source of energy in the United States, with a consumption of 35.35 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024. Closely following, the U.S. had 34.2 quadrillion British thermal units of energy derived from natural gas. Energy consumption by sector in the United States Petroleum is predominantly utilized as a fuel in the transportation sector, which is also the second-largest consumer of energy in the U.S. with almost 30 percent of the country’s total energy consumption in 2024. This figure is topped only by the energy-guzzling industrial sector, a major consumer of fossil fuels such as petroleum and natural gas. Renewable energy in the United States Despite the prevalence of fossil fuels in the U.S. energy mix, the use of renewable energy consumption has grown immensely in the last decades to approximately 11 exajoules in 2023. Most of the renewable energy produced in the U.S. is derived from biomass, hydro and wind sources. In 2024, renewable electricity accounted for approximately 24 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation.

This dataset utilizes the Carbon Intensity Region API to provide real-time information on the forecast carbon intensity (gCO2/kWh) of electricity consumption across various regions in Great Britain and our electricity generation mix.The carbon intensity of electricity is a measure of how much CO2 emissions are produced per kilowatt hour of electricity consumed.The generation mix shows what percentage is generated from various sources such as solar, wind, nuclear, hydro and fossil fuels such as gas and coal. Updated every hour and forecasted up to 96 hours ahead. The values are calculated using state-of-the-art machine learning and power system modelling techniques, incorporating emissions from large metered power stations, interconnector imports, transmission and distribution losses, and embedded wind and solar generation.Data is available at the Distribution Network Operator (DNO) regions. Please note, these regions do not align with the standard UK regions.
The Intensity Index applied depends on the Intensity Forecast which is measured in gCO2/kWh and varies from year to year. See the table below for conversion;

Among the nine nuclear power reactors operative in the United Kingdom as of May 2024, Sizewell B accounted for the largest capacity, with a total of 1,198 megawatts. This was almost double the capacity of the two reactors of the Heysham nuclear plant. Nuclear energy's role in electricity generation in the UK In the past, nuclear energy played an important role in the generation of electricity in the UK. In the past few years, the volume of electricity production decreased, falling from roughly 72 terawatt-hours in 2016 to roughly 40 terawatt-hours in 2023. The nuclear electricity generation in the UK is expected to keep declining, since the nuclear reactors in the UK are close to the end of their lifecycle. However, in 2022, the UK's government announced the project for the construction of new nuclear reactors. Electricity sources in the UK In 2022, natural gas was still the leading source of power supply in the UK, at almost 40 percent of the total share. To counteract the decrease in nuclear power production, the use of renewable energy grew in the country, mainly from onshore wind source and solar photovoltaics.
Clean Energy Technologies Market Size 2024-2028
The clean energy technologies market size is forecast to increase by USD 90.13 billion at a CAGR of 5.4% between 2023 and 2028.
The market is experiencing significant growth, driven by increasing investments in renewable energy sources and the rising popularity of hybrid power projects. This shift towards clean energy is being fueled by global efforts to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change. However, competition from traditional sources of energy, such as fossil fuels, remains a challenge. Renewable energy technologies, including solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal, are becoming increasingly cost-competitive and are gaining market share. Hybrid power projects, which combine multiple renewable energy sources and energy storage systems, offer greater reliability and flexibility, making them an attractive option for businesses and governments. Companies seeking to capitalize on this market opportunity should focus on innovation, cost competitiveness, and scalability to meet the growing demand for clean energy solutions. Additionally, partnerships and collaborations with governments, utilities, and other industry players can help companies navigate regulatory challenges and access new markets. Overall, the market presents significant growth potential for companies that can effectively address the challenges and capitalize on the trends driving this dynamic industry.
What will be the Size of the Clean Energy Technologies Market during the forecast period?
Request Free SampleThe market encompasses a range of renewable sources, including solar and wind energy, which are increasingly gaining traction in the global energy landscape. Driven by environmental disasters, such as natural gas leaks and fuel spills, as well as concerns over carbon emissions and harmful pollutants from traditional energy sources, there is a growing emphasis on environmental protection efforts and sustainable resource usage. Renewable energy technologies, including clean coal and nuclear energy, are being explored as viable alternatives to conventional fuels.

The hydropower segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that hydropower, as the largest source of renewable electricity globally, is projected to expand by 17% or 230 GW between 2021 and 2030. In 2020, hydropower generation grew by 124 Terawatt-hour (TWh), a 3% increase from the previous year, reaching a total of 4,418 TWh. Hydropower plants, particularly reservoir and pumped storage types, contribute significantly to grid flexibility by generating and supplying electricity based on demand. In contrast, run-of-the-river hydropower plants, which harvest energy from flowing water bodies, have variable output due to current or seasonal weather conditions. Government financing and restrictions, climate awareness, and the need for stable power supplies are driving the transition towards clean energy sources. Harmful carbon emissions from industrial activities and power plants contribute to climate uncertainty and environmental issues, including wildlife population declines and air pollution. As the global energy future shifts towards cleaner, more sustainable resource usage, clean coal technology, wind energy, solar energy, and nuclear energy are emerging as key components of the clean energy mix. The renewable energy sector is addressing environmental concerns by investing in offshore clean energy, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and implementing environmental protection efforts. However, challenges such as natural gas leaks, fuel spills, and natural impacts on habitats remain. Government measures and industrial efforts are essential to mitigate these issues and ensure a sustainable energy future.

Regional Analysis
APAC is estimated to
In April 2025, electricity prices in the United Kingdom amounted to 93.5 British pounds per megawatt-hour, a decrease from the previous month. A record high was reached in August 2022 when day-ahead baseload contracts averaged 363.7 British pounds per megawatt-hour.
Electricity price stabilization in Europe
Electricity prices increased in 2024 compared to the previous year, when prices stabilized after the energy supply shortage. Price spikes were driven by the growing wholesale prices of natural gas and coal worldwide, which are among the main sources of power in the region.
… and in the United Kingdom? The United Kingdom was one of the countries with the highest electricity prices worldwide during the energy crisis. Since then, prices have been stabilizing, almost to pre-energy crisis levels. The use of nuclear, wind, and bioenergy for electricity generation has been increasing recently. The fuel types are an alternative to fossil fuels and are part of the country's power generation plans going into the future.
