This table expresses the use of renewable energy as gross final consumption of energy. Figures are presented in an absolute way, as well as related to the total energy use in the Netherlands. The total gross final energy consumption in the Netherlands (the denominator used to calculate the percentage of renewable energy per ‘Energy sources and techniques’) can be found in the table as ‘Total, including non-renewables’ and Energy application ‘Total’. The gross final energy consumption for the energy applications ‘Electricity’ and ‘Heat’ are also available. With these figures the percentages of the different energy sources and applications can be calculated; these values are not available in this table. The gross final energy consumption for ‘Transport’ is not available because of the complexity to calculate this. More information on this can be found in the yearly publication ‘Hernieuwbare energie in Nederland’.
Renewable energy is energy from wind, hydro power, the sun, the earth, heat from outdoor air and biomass. This is energy from natural processes that is replenished constantly.
The figures are broken down into energy source/technique and into energy application (electricity, heat and transport).
This table focuses on the share of renewable energy according to the EU Renewable Energy Directive. Under this directive, countries can apply an administrative transfer by purchasing renewable energy from countries that have consumed more renewable energy than the agreed target. For 2020, the Netherlands has implemented such a transfer by purchasing renewable energy from Denmark. This transfer has been made visible in this table as a separate energy source/technique and two totals are included; a total with statistical transfer and a total without statistical transfer.
Figures for 2020 and before were calculated based on RED I; in accordance with Eurostat these figures will not be modified anymore. Inconsistencies with other tables undergoing updates may occur.
Data available from: 1990
Status of the figures: This table contains definite figures up to and including 2022, figures for 2023 are revised provisional figures and figures for 2024 are provisional.
Changes as of june 2025: Figures for 2024 have been added.
Changes as of January 2025
Renewable cooling has been added as Energy source and technique from 2021 onwards, in accordance with RED II. Figures for 2020 and earlier follow RED I definitions, renewable cooling isn’t a part of these definitions.
The energy application “Heat” has been renamed to “Heating and cooling”, in accordance with RED II definitions.
RED II is the current Renewable Energy Directive which entered into force in 2021
Changes as of November 15th 2024 Figures for 2021-2023 have been adjusted. 2022 is now definitive, 2023 stays revised provisional. Because of new insights for windmills regarding own electricity use and capacity, figures on 2021 have been revised.
Changes as of March 2024: Figures of the total energy applications of biogas, co-digestion of manure and other biogas have been restored for 2021 and 2022. The final energy consumption of non-compliant biogas (according to RED II) was wrongly included in the total final consumption of these types of biogas. Figures of total biogas, total biomass and total renewable energy were not influenced by this and therefore not adjusted.
When will new figures be published? Provisional figures on the gross final consumption of renewable energy in broad outlines for the previous year are published each year in June. Revised provisional figures for the previous year appear each year in June.
In November all figures on the consumption of renewable energy in the previous year will be published. These figures remain revised provisional, definite figures appear in November two years after the reporting year. Most important (expected) changes between revised provisional figures in November and definite figures a year later are the figures on solar photovoltaic energy. The figures on the share of total energy consumption in the Netherlands could also still be changed by the availability of adjusted figures on total energy consumption.
Global primary energy consumption has increased dramatically in recent years and is projected to continue to increase until 2045. Only hydropower and renewable energy consumption are expected to increase between 2045 and 2050 and reach 30 percent of the global energy consumption. Energy consumption by country The distribution of energy consumption globally is disproportionately high among some countries. China, the United States, and India were by far the largest consumers of primary energy globally. On a per capita basis, it was Qatar, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Iceland to have the highest per capita energy consumption. Renewable energy consumption Over the last two decades, renewable energy consumption has increased to reach over 90 exajoules in 2023. Among all countries globally, China had the largest installed renewable energy capacity as of that year, followed by the United States.
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.
Oil is the greatest source of primary energy supplied worldwide. In 2019, 30.9 percent of all energy produced in the world was oil-based. In 1973, this share stood at close to 50 percent. In the years since, the shares of natural gas and nuclear energy have seen the most pronounced growth.

Sector: 07. Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy systems for all Algorithm: Consumption of energy from renewable sources in the thermal sector (as a percentage of gross final energy consumption) Territorial comparisons: South Tyrol, Italy
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.

This table contains figures on the gross final consumption (absolute and relative) of renewable energy. Renewable energy is energy from wind, hydropower, sun, soil, outdoor air heat and biomass. It is energy from natural processes that is constantly replenished. The data can be broken down by energy source/technique and by application (electricity, heat and transport). The gross final consumption of renewable energy as a percentage of the total gross final consumption is used as a target for European and national renewable energy policy. It has been agreed that the Dutch share of renewable energy, in terms of gross final consumption, must be equal to 14 percent in 2020. This table focuses on the share of renewable energy according to the EU Renewable Energy Directive. Under this directive, countries can apply an administrative transfer by purchasing renewable energy from countries that have consumed more renewable energy than the agreed target. For 2020, the Netherlands has applied such a transfer by purchasing renewable energy from Denmark. This transfer is shown in this table as a separate energy source/technique and two totals are included; a total with and a total without statistical transfer. Data available from: 1990 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final up to and including 2020, the figures for 2021 are further provisional and provisional figures for 2022. Changes as of 2 June 2023: Provisional figures for 2022 have been added. From the 2021 reporting year, new sustainability criteria will apply in the context of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) for solid and gaseous biomass consumed in installations above a certain capacity limit. Only biomass that meets these criteria is included in the figures for 2021 and later. Changes as of 8 February 2023 The figures for co-firing of biomass in power stations have been changed for 2021. Following discussions with RVO, which guarantees the sustainability of subsidized solid biomass for energy applications, it has become apparent that the solid biomass used in 2021 for - and co-firing has been used for 100% compliance with RED II criteria for the sustainability of biomass. As a result, the gross final consumption of biomass for co-firing is 14 PJ higher than in the December 2022 update and the share of renewable energy is 0.7 percentage point higher. RED II is the revised EU Renewable Energy Directive that will come into force in 2021. Changes as of December 15, 2022: Further provisional figures for 2021 have been added. Only solid and gaseous biomass that meets the sustainability criteria of the updated EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) has been included to calculate the gross final consumption of these energy sources in 2021. Figures from 2020 and earlier have been calculated according to RED I and are no longer adjusted in accordance with the agreement with Eurostat. This can cause inconsistencies with other tables where updates are made. When will new figures be published: Provisional figures on the gross final consumption of renewable energy in outline for the previous year will be published each year in May. More detailed provisional figures for the previous year are published each year in June. All figures on the consumption of renewable energy in the previous year are published in December. These figures retain their provisional status, final figures appear in December of the second year after the year under review. The most important (expected) changes between further provisional in December and final a year later are the figures for solar power. The figures on the share in the total energy consumption of the Netherlands can also be changed due to the availability of adjusted figures on total energy consumption.
