World Decarbonisation Indices

Figures in orange: data for 2021

Figures in blue: data for 2020

Based on G20 statistics and rest of the world estimates.

Energy intensity

-1.0%

-1.3%

After a -1.3% reduction rate in 2020, the global energy intensity decreased by -1% in 2021, away from the 2010-2019 average of -2%, and far from the levels needed to meet Paris Agreement.

Electrification

20.4%

20.2%

The global share of electricity in final consumption is slightly growing in spite of the post COVID-19 rebound in energy consumption has favoured the demand for fossil fuels, especially in transport.

Share of RES

-0.01pp

+1.77pp

The global share of renewables in the power mix stagnated between 2020 and 2021 because of a higher use of dispatchable energies to cope with the demand rise.

CO2 emissions

5.4%

-4.5%

The 2021 global rebound of CO2 emissions has completely offset the reduction achieved in 2020.

Carbon factor

0.5%

0%

After a stagnation in 2020, the global carbon factor deteriorates in 2021 and goes back to 2019 levels, due to a rebound in fossil fuels consumption.
Key 2021 Global Energy Figures

Total energy

25%

Crude oil

-16.6%

Sharp drop in crude oil production in the United Kingdom.

Oil products

-2.9%

Decline of oil products consumption in Germany.

Natural gas

+13.6%
