2.3 %
Increase in primary energy demand globally in 2024.
26.6 %
Renewable generation excluding hydropower and biomass in Europe in 2024.
1.4 %
Growth in global CO₂ emissions from conventional fuels in 2024.
2.8 %
Increase in global natural gas demand in 2024 to 4.375 billion m3.
Energy sector trends 2024
These are the main insights derived from the figures and percentages mentioned, they reflect the most relevant trends and dynamics of the energy sector in recent years.
-
Sustained development of energy demand
Primary energy consumption increased by 2.3% last year. Globally, oil dominates (29.3%), followed by coal (28.5%), and natural gas (22.9%).
Renewable energy grew by 16%, representing 2.5% of the total.
-
Growth of global CO2 emissions
China continues to be the main contributor to emissions, accounting for 35% of the total, far ahead of Europe (6%), the USA (12%), and India (9%).
In relation to the intensity of emissions per GDP, there is an improvement in the EU, standing 53% below the world average.
-
The oil market in a context of balance
Global demand stands at 103 million barrels per day, growing by 0.8%, slightly less than previous year-on-year variations.
The average price per barrel is $80.5/bbl.
-
Global gas demand peaks
The world consumption of natural gas registered an increase of 2.8% mainly centralized in China. Europe found itself at lower levels than before the crisis.
LNG is gaining importance on a global scale, albeit suffering from geopolitical tensions.
