ENERGY RENEWABLE STATISTICS IN 2010 The share of renewables in primary consumption is around 13% at a world level.
This share is higher in developing countries than in OECD countries.
In Africa, renewables account for 47% of primary consumption due to the significant diffusion of biomass in households (mainly wood energy).
In Latin America, this share was around 25% in 2010 and is supported by the large penetration of hydroelectricity.
In OECD countries, growth in the share of renewables is related to the diffusion of wind energy, solar energy and biomass.
In Europe, renewables account for 11% of primary consumption in 2010, with rapid growth in southern Europe. This share was 6% in the United States and 3% in Japan in 2010.
