Special properties

*The source changed its methodology in 2024, prior to 2024 figures were reported as consumption

Supplementary notes

This report was previously published by BP.

Figures refer to commercially traded fuels, including modern renewables used to generate electricity.

Energy from non-fossil fuel combustible electricity generation is accounted for on their input heat requirements and non-combustible renewables on the energy content of their gross electrical output.

This statistic was compiled using several releases of the publication.

Citation formats

Oil is the most consumed primary energy fuel in the world. In 2025, some * exajoules worth of oil were consumed. That year, the consumption of fossil fuels registered an increase compared to the previous year.

Rising demand for fossil fuels

Demand for fossil fuels has remained high, as overall primary energy demand continues to increase. Excluding the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the use of oil has consistently grown each year. Consumption of other non-renewable fuel types has been more varied. Global natural gas consumption has risen more or less consistently. Its properties as a less carbon-intensive fossil fuel than coal have led to an increase in its use in the power sector, overtaking coal use in major economies such as the United States.

Fossil fuels by region

The U.S. is the leading natural gas consuming country in the world, as well as the largest producer of this fossil fuel and of crude oil. Russia, China, and the Middle Eastern region follow, as they have either the richest reserves of these raw materials or account for the largest refining capacity.
