In the transport sector the share of renewables has increased from 1.3% to 4% between 2005 and 2010, and currently Norway has one of the highest numbers of electric cars per capita in the world. [20] The government's initial goal of 50,000 electric cars on Norwegian roads was reached on 20 April 2015, more than two years earlier than expected.
China produced 31% of global renewable electricity, followed by the United States (11%), Brazil (6.4%), Canada (5.4%) and India (3.9%). [1] Renewable investment reached almost $500 billion globally in 2022, [2] amounting to 83% of new electric capacity that year. [3] The renewable energy industry employs almost 14 million people. [4]
Social Progress Index vs Energy Use per capita, 2015. List of countries by Social Progress Index. World energy consumption per capita based on 2021 data. This is a list of countries by total energy consumption per capita. This is not the consumption of end-users but all energy needed as input to produce fuel and electricity for end-users.
Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) also revealed that a further 40 countries generated at least 50 per cent of the electricity they ...
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.
The per capita data for many countries may be slightly inaccurate as population data may not be for the same year as the consumption data. Population data were obtained mainly from the IMF [ 3 ] in 2021 with some exceptions, in which case they were obtained from the Wikipedia pages for the corresponding countries/territories.
Norway decided to stay out of OPEC, keep its own energy prices in line with world markets, and spend the revenue – known as the "currency gift" – wisely.
