The Future of Energy Consumption

Abstract

In the world primary energy consumption in 2015, fossil fuel, nuclear power and renewable energy were 85.6, 4.7 and 9.7%, respectively. The world primary energy consumption increased by a factor of 1.01861 every year from 1980 to 2015. If the world primary energy consumption increases at this rate all world reserves of petroleum, natural gas, uranium and coal will be completed exhausted until the middle of this century inducing intolerable global warming. Only the solution is to establish and spread the technologies to use renewable energy by which all people in the whole world can keep the sustainable development.
