Brazil is the 7th largest energy consumer in the world and the largest in South America. [1] [2] At the same time, it is an important oil and gas producer in the region and the world's second largest ethanol fuel producer.
At the end of 2021, Brazil was the 4th largest producer of wind energy in the world (72 TWh), behind only China, USA and Germany, and the 11th largest producer of solar energy in the world (16.8 TWh). [10] The main characteristic of the Brazilian energy matrix is that it is much more renewable than that of the world.
Brazil is the world’s seventh-largest oil producer, with about 4.3 million barrels daily, or 4% of the world´s output, according to Energy Information Administration, a US government agency.
This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2023 and are sourced from Ember unless otherwise specified. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
This is a list of countries by electric energy consumption. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023. China is the largest producer and consumer of electricity, representing 55% of consumption in Asia and 31% of the world in 2023.
This is a list of countries by total primary energy consumption and production. 1 quadrillion BTU = 293 TW·h = 1.055 EJ 1 quadrillion BTU/yr = 1.055 EJ/yr = 293 TW·h/yr = 33.433 GW. The numbers below are for the total energy consumption or production in a whole year, so should be multiplied by 33.433 to get the average value in GW in that year.
China produced 32% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (7.0%), Canada (4.7%) and India (4.3%).
