WORLD ENERGY CONSUMPTION IN 2010
Energy consumption soared by 5.5% in 2010, after a slight decrease in 2009, and was 4.5% above its pre-crisis level.
Renewed growth was noticed in all G20 countries. This significant increase was driven by two converging trends.
First, energy consumption in OECD countries resumed with the upturn in economic activities, after the severe drop off experienced in 2009; energy consumption grew by 6.7% in Japan, 4% in Europe and 3.7% in the United States.
And second, China and India, with an increase of more than 6%, continued their intense demand for all forms of energy; China reinforced its position as the world’s largest energy consumer (11% above the United States), while India now ranks third.
