China is the largest consumer of primary energy in the world, having used some 176.35 exajoules in 2024. This is a lot more than what the United States consumed, which comes in second place. The majority of primary energy fuels worldwide are still derived from fossil fuels, such as oil and coal. China's energy mix China’s primary energy mix has shifted from a dominant use of coal to an increase in natural gas and renewable sources. Since 2013, the renewables share in total energy consumption has grown by around eight percentage points. Overall, global primary energy consumption has increased over the last decade, and it is expected to experience the largest growth in emerging economies like the BRIC countries - Brazil, Russia, India, and China. What is primary energy? Primary energy is the energy inherent in natural resources such as crude oil, coal, and wind before further transformation. For example, crude oil can be refined into secondary fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, while wind is harnessed for electricity - itself a secondary energy source. A country’s total primary energy supply is a measure of the country’s primary energy sources. Meanwhile, end use energy is the energy directly consumed by the user and includes primary fuels such as natural gas, as well as secondary sources, like electricity and gasoline.

In 2024, China consumed *****percent of global primary energy, positioning itself as the largest primary energy consumer across the world. The United States followed, with more than ****** the consumption share of India and Russia, the third and fourth-largest consumers worldwide. China’s use of energy Most of the primary energy consumed in China comes from coal, while crude oil is the country’s second most-consumed resource. Primary energy consumption in China has increased ****-fold since 2000 and continues to rise each year. Rapid energy plants construction is a major reason for China's rising energy consumption. Sources of primary energy Primary energy comes directly from natural resources, both renewable and non-renewable, and has not yet been subject to transformation through human processes. Fossil fuels such as oil, coal, and gas are the most common types of primary energy sources worldwide. Consumption of renewables such as solar and wind currently remains at a much lower level than that of fossil fuels. For instance, the use of coal alone is ***** times greater than that of renewable sources. However, global renewable energy consumption has been growing steadily over the past decades.

Primary energy supply in the United States has oscillated since 1998, peaking at 96.95 exajoules in 2007. By 2024, figures had decreased to nearly 91.83 exajoules. Primary energy refers to energy harvested directly from natural resources, before being transformed into electricity or other secondary or tertiary energy forms. It includes both fossil fuels and renewable sources. United States' primary energy demand: global context The U.S. is the second largest primary energy consumer worldwide, only falling behind China. In 2024, China had a primary energy demand of over 176 exajoules. Rounding out the top three, India ranked third and had a total energy consumption of some 41 exajoules. Energy transition in the U.S. Such high energy demand leads to greater carbon emissions. Consequently, 71 percent of U.S. citizens are in favor of speeding up the transition to clean energy sources, such as wind and solar power. Despite the increase in clean energy investments in the U.S., the country’s main energy sources are still fossil fuels. However, the share of renewables in electricity generation has increased to almost 24 percent as of 2024.

Qatar has the highest per capita energy consumption worldwide. In 2023, residents in Qatar used an average of *** megawatt-hours worth of energy - all of which was derived from fossil fuels. Sources of primary energy In 2023, oil and coal were the main fuels used for primary energy worldwide. Except for the Nordic countries and Canada, all other countries listed among the leading 10 consumers sourced energy almost exclusively from fossil fuels. Many of them are also responsible for large oil production shares or the refining thereof. Differences in energy consumption There is a notable disparity between the highest and lowest energy users. Resource-rich countries outside the temperate climate zone tend to use more energy to heat or cool homes and are also more likely to use greater amounts of energy as costs are much lower. For example, electricity prices in oil and gas-producing countries such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia are only a fraction of those of resource-poor countries in Europe. Furthermore, energy consumption disparity is a strong indicator of the different income levels around the world and largely tied to economic prosperity.

Petroleum is the most used fuel source in the United States, with a consumption level of 35.35 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024. Natural gas is the second-most common fuel source, with consumption levels rising closer to that of petroleum over recent years. Petroleum use post-financial crisis Petroleum in the United States is primarily used for fueling the transportation sector, generating heat and electricity, as well as in the production of plastics. U.S. consumption of petroleum was at its highest before the 2008 global financial crisis, when the price of crude oil rose dramatically. Petroleum consumption began to increase again in 2013, before dropping significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The rise of natural gas While petroleum consumption has been lower in the last decade than in the early 2000s, the use of natural gas has risen significantly. Natural gas consumption in the United States has seen record highs in recent years, in part due to lower costs and its growing popularity. The U.S. currently produces more natural gas than any country in the world, followed by Russia.

Among the European countries, primary energy consumption in 2024 was highest in Germany, at ******exajoules. This was followed by France and Turkey. Primary energy is energy taken directly from natural resources such as crude oil, coal and wind. This means primary energy can be either non-renewable or renewable. Fossil fuel consumption highest In 2024, primary energy supply in the European Union derived mostly from fossil fuels, with oil consumption amounting to around ** exajoules. In comparison, the consumption of coal for primary energy has been in a steady decline, signaling a shift away from this energy source. The consumption of renewables has been increasing annually during this time period and amounted to nearly ****exajoules. Global consumption Primary energy consumption is highest in the Asia Pacific region, with consumption in this region amounting to some *** exajoules in 2024. Globally, China is the largest consumer of primary energy in the world and consumed *** exajoules in 2024.

The Asia Pacific region consumes the most primary energy in the world, at around 279.24 exajoules in 2024. Consumption of primary energy is generally increasing worldwide, and has risen in Asia-Pacific by nearly 90 exajoules since 2010. Primary energy consumption is the use of crude energy prior to refining or conversion. Countries with the highest energy consumption North America follows Asia Pacific as the world’s second-largest consumer of primary energy, having consumed 112 exajoules in 2024. High consumption levels in Asia Pacific and North America come in large part from China and the United States. Rapid industrial growth and a growing middle class have resulted in energy consumption in China to more than quadruple since 2000. Growth and common energy sources While primary energy use has steadily increased across the globe, renewable energy consumption has more than tripled since 2000. Nevertheless, renewables remain among the least-used primary energy source, just above nuclear power. Fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, are consumed at a higher volume than any other type of primary energy source in the world.

China's coal mining industry boasts a long history, with most mines entering mid to late stages of development. Consequently, many coal resource-dependent cities are facing gradual resource depletion, leading to a proliferation of internal issues and pronounced conflicts across various dimensions. Annually, significant wastage of energy resources occurs due to coal mining in these cities. Understanding the spatial distribution of energy consumption from coal mining is crucial for advancing energy system transformation and planning future coal mining strategies. This study employs web scraping techniques to gather coal production data from coal resource cities across China. Using a top-down approach, the comprehensive energy consumption based on coal production was estimated, and consequently, the energy consumption per unit of coal production for each province was calculated. The results indicate that cities with energy consumption from coal mining exceeding 5 million tonnes of standard coal are primarily concentrated in the eastern regions and the Jin-Shan-Mongolia-Ningxia-Gansu area.

In the fiscal year 2023, the total electricity consumption in Japan amounted to around 3.17 thousand petajoules, which was a decrease compared to the previous fiscal years. As a leading industrial nation, Japan has a high electricity demand for its production.  Leading industry of electricity consumption Within the industrial sector, manufacturing was the leading industry to consume electricity. Japan is one of the global leaders in the manufacturing industry, with major exports including automobiles, consumer electronics, and computers. Therefore, its industry accounted for most of the electricity demand.  Energy mix in Japan Natural gas and coal constituted the leading sources for electricity production. Historically, the country heavily depended on imports of oil, coal, and natural gas. Therefore, Japan's current energy policy aims to diversify its energy mix, including renewable and nuclear energy, to secure a stable energy supply, reduce electric power costs, and decrease carbon dioxide emissions. The share of the electricity production from renewable sources is currently at around 20 percent, with the main renewable sources being solar and hydropower. The Japanese government plans to increase the share of renewable energy significantly in order for the country to become carbon neutral by 2050.

To substantially reduce energy costs and consumption by State government, an energy/electricity competition was established in 2011 between the 16 largest energy-using agencies. Each agency's consumption of electricity (kWh) and total energy (MMBTU) from significant facilities is monitored in relation to a baseline year of FY 2008. Significant facilities are those that have been occupied by the State since 2008 and are air-conditioned.

An overall goal is set for State agencies to reduce energy/electricity consumption by 15% by 2015 to Lead By Example.

To view how the State and each of the 16 agencies are performing, please select between energy and electricity, and select an agency using the options to the right.

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2013 runs from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. The Fiscal Year 2014 runs from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.

Abstract

Most countries collect official statistics on energy use due to its vital role in the infrastructure, economy and living standards.

In Palestine, additional attention is warranted for energy statistics due to a scarcity of natural resources, the high cost of energy and high population density. These factors demand comprehensive and high quality statistics.

In this contest PCBS decided to conduct a special Energy Consumption in Transport Survey to provide high quality data about energy consumption by type, expenditure on maintenance and insurance for vehicles, and questions on vehicles motor capacity and year of production.

The survey aimed to provide data on energy consumption by transport sector and also on the energy consumption by the type of vehicles and its motor capacity and year of production.

The domain of interest is Energy; however, the focus is to observe the trends between the different sources used for electricity generation among Canada and its provinces from 2005 to 2016, and to compare the trends for electricity generation to electricity consumption in Canada from 2005 to 2015. The main problem that will be investigated is how much of a particular source is used for electricity generation in Canada over these eleven years and what is the least and most used source of electricity generation over Canada. It will also be observed whether the proportion of electricity generated by each source in Canada during 2016, is consistent with the proportion of electricity generated by each source in every province. Additionally electricity consumption for the provinces will be studied to determine which province consumes the most and least amounts of electricity in Canada. The significance of this problem is to understand which sources are highly used to generate electric power in the provinces and in Canada. If a source is being used the most in Canada and in the provinces, it will lead us to find possible ways to generate electricity from the least used sources, so the country and its provinces do not depend on one source for electric power. It will also be observed if the electricity generation by each province has increased, decreased or remain constant from 2005-2016. From this data we can also infer which province generates the most and least amount of electric power and determine which abundant resources are available to each province for its electricity generation. Moreover, by comparing the trends for electricity consumption and electricity generation it will be observed if any province consumes more electricity than it generates. If so we can find ways to provide that province with more electrcity by importing it from other provinces.

Commercial use accounted for the biggest share of electricity consumption in Hong Kong, consuming over ** terawatt hours in total in 2023. Electricity In the last decade, electricity generation in Hong Kong has remained around the level of ** to ** TWh per year. Meanwhile, there has been a rise in the volume of electricity imported since 2008, along with a gradual decrease in import volume of coal products as Hong Kong also strives to cut down reliance on fossil fuel. Electricity covered for almost half of the final energy requirement in Hong Kong, whereas the other half consisted mostly of oil products. Energy mix   As a metropolitan city with a population of over ***** million, Hong Kong does not have any natural fossil fuel resources of its own. To meet the growing energy demand, Hong Kong relies mainly on imported oil and gas, and some electricity from mainland China. For instance, a minimum of *** million metric tons of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas were imported to Hong Kong every year on average in the last decade, vast majority of which was imported from mainland China.

Industrial activities are the greatest energy end-user sector in the United States, reaching a consumption of some 31 quadrillion British thermal units in 2024, followed by the transportation sector. The U.S. is the second-largest energy consumer in the world, after China. Energy source in the United States Consumption of fossil fuels still accounts for the majority of U.S. primary energy consumption. The transportation and industrial sectors are the sectors with the largest fossil fuel consumption in the country, the former relying on oil-based motor fuels. Electricity generation in the United States Although around 60 percent of the electricity generated in the U.S. is derived from natural gas and coal, the use of renewable sources is becoming more common in electricity production, with the largest increase in wind and solar power. These two clean energy resources are projected to generate as much power as natural gas by 2030.

Fossil fuels remain the greatest source of electricity generation worldwide. In 2023, coal accounted for roughly **** percent of the global power mix, while natural gas followed with a ** percent share. China, India, and the United States accounted for the largest share of coal used for electricity generation. The future of renewable energy Fossil fuel use notwithstanding, the share of renewables in global electricity has seen a more pronounced year-on-year growth in recent years, following increased efforts by governments to combat global warming and a decrease in levelized costs. Projections indicate that renewables will surpass fossil fuels as the main power source by 2040. Electricity consumption in the world China is the largest electricity consumer in the world, requiring more than ***** terawatt-hours of electricity every year. However, this economic power accounts for the largest population in the world and its electricity consumption per capita is almost tenfold smaller than the consumption of Iceland, although the power used in this country came almost completely from clean sources.
