BP Statisitical Review of World Energy

The BP  Statistical Review of  World Energy 2012 was published  on June 12th  2013  and can be downloaded  from  the BP Website.  The statistics  show   that  on the back of slower economic growth, global energy consumption growth in 2012 slowed significantly.  Once again, all of the net growth took place in emerging economies, with China and India alone accounting for nearly 90% of the net increase in global energy consumption. OECD consumption declined for the fourth time in the past five years, led by a large decline in the US. Despite the slowdown, consumption and production reached record levels for all fuels except nuclear powerand biofuels. The data suggests that growth in global CO2 emissions from energy use continued in 2012, but at a slower rate than in 2011.
