As of 2024, bioenergy accounted for approximately percent of the global primary energy demand, with fossil fuels constituting the majority of the energy mix. In a net-zero scenario forecast for 2050, bioenergy is expected to take on a significantly larger role. In this scenario, the bioenergy share of the global primary energy demand is anticipated to more than double, reaching ** percent. Other scenarios forecast smaller shares of bioenergy in the overall demand for primary energy worldwide, however.
