Energy Mix: Worldwide
Energy Mix: Worldwide "Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World Total Final Consumption by Region" 52.3% of worldwide enregy consumption is accounted for by the OECD. Asia and China are in third and fourth place, respectively. Diagrams from the report: "Key World Energy Statistics" of the International Energy Agency

"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World Total Final Consumption by Fuel" 43% of worldwide energy consumption is accounteed for by oil. Only 7.4% of worlwide energy consumption is accounted for by coal.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World Total Primary Energy Supply by Fuel" 35% of the worldwide primary energy supply is accounted for by oil. Coal comes in second place, making up 23.3% of world primary energy supply.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of World Total Final Supply by Region" OECD states control 53.2% of worldwide energy supply.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of Natural Gas Production by Region" OECD states control 42.6% of worldwide natural gas production. Russia's produces 28.3% of worldwide natural gap.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of Crude Oil Production by Region" The Middle East controls 28.5% of natural oil resources. OECD states have disposal to 28.4% of world oil resources.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of Hard Coal Production by Region" OECD countries control 37.1% of coal resources, China controls 34.6% of coal resources.
"Evolution from 1971 to 2001 of Nuclear Production by Region" OECD states produce the majority of nuclear energy (86.3%).
"Producers of Nuclear Electricity" Together, the United States, France and Japan produce 58.5% of the world's nuclear energy.

"Total Energy Supply and Disposition in the AEO2004 Reference Case: Summary, 2001-2025"
Energy consumption rises faster than energy production.
Oil consumption will rise faster than natural gas and coal consumption.
Energy consumption, production and imports increase sharply while energy intensity decreases.

"Oil, Gas and Coal" In 2000, the USA produced 8.1 mb of oil per day. In 2000, American oil consumption reached 19.7 mmbpd, which exceeded the previous record high of 19.5% mmbpd in 1999.
Coal contributes to 50% of American electricity production.
