2024 Statistical Review of World Energy

Submission statement:

This report provides an overview of global energy mixes through 2023, which is when the renewables revolution started to really take off. It shows that we have a long way to go with solar and wind, but that they are continuing to gain momentum.

Unfortunately, the report also reveals that fossil fuel use is increasing as well, and we look to be on track for another year of record-breaking emissions. Energy demand is growing quickly in what the report calls the Global South, and while renewables are meeting some of that new demand, most of it is being met by fossil fuel use.
