The World Bank identifies around 200 economies in the world, but on the consumption side, at least, only a handful are individually important for market analysis. The oil market is best thought of ...
Daily oil consumption by region from 1980 to 2006. This is a list of countries by oil consumption. [1] [2] In 2022, the International Energy Agency (IEA) announced that the total worldwide oil consumption would rise by 2% [3] year over year compared to 2021 despite the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is not the consumption of end-users but all energy needed as input to produce fuel and electricity for end-users. It is known as total primary energy supply (TPES), a term used to indicate the sum of production and imports subtracting exports and storage changes (see also Worldwide energy supply ).
English: Oil consumption as percentage per region from 1980 to 2006; vertical extents indicate percentage of world total oil consumption, and the horizontal scale shows years from 1980 to 2007. Date 24 October 2008 (original upload date)
The amounts of fuel in the tables are based on lower heating value. The first table lists final consumption in the countries/regions which use most (85%), and per person as of 2018. In developing countries fuel consumption per person is low and more renewable. [27] Canada, Venezuela and Brazil generate most electricity with hydropower.
Solid fuels have been used throughout human history to create fire [2] and solid fuel is still in widespread use throughout the world in the present day. [3] [4] Solid fuel from biomass is regarded as a renewable energy source which can contribute to climate change mitigation efforts. Solid fuel from fossil fuels (i.e. coal) is not a renewable ...
World leaders are meeting in Paris this month in what amounts to a last-ditch effort to avert the worst ravages of climate change. Climatologists now say that the best case scenario — assuming immediate and dramatic emissions curbs — is that planetary surface temperatures will increase by at least 2 degrees Celsius in the coming decades.
In 2014, South Asia imported one-third of the total energy consumed in the region. [52] Due to this energy dependence on imported fuel, energy resource scarcity and fluctuations in global price can result in higher costs for electricity in South Asia and can therefore make electricity services less accessible for the least advantaged people.
