Oil, natural gas and coal continued to dominate global primary energy consumption in 2022 despite focused efforts by western governments to subsidize a largely debt-funded transition to renewables and electric vehicles (EVs).
... [+]
, conducted by the Energy Institute, finds that fossil fuels provided 82% of primary energy consumption during 2022, the same percentage it provided in 2021, as surging energy demand offset growth in renewables and EVs.
Perhaps most disturbingly for energy transition proponents, production of coal rose by 7% in 2022 thanks mainly to rapid consumption growth in China, India and Indonesia. Those three countries accounted for 95% of overall coal demand growth during the year. Overall, global coal consumption rose to the highest level seen since 2014.
Not surprisingly, the report finds that natural gas pipeline trade dropped by 15% during the year, with net imports to Europe plummeting by a whopping 35%. Virtually all of that downward movement derives from the cutoff exports from Russia into Europe.There is some good news for energy transition boosters on the renewables front, however. The share of renewables, excluding hydropower, rose to 14.42% of global power generation, an increase of roughly 11% from its share in 2021.
