Energy mix: what sources do we get our energy from? Let's look at our energy mix today, and explore what sources we draw upon. In the interactive chart shown, we see the primary energy mix broken down by fuel or generation source. Globally we get the largest amount of our energy from oil, followed by coal, gas, and hydroelectric power.
How much energy does the world consume? The energy system has transformed dramatically since the Industrial Revolution. We see this transformation of the global energy supply in the interactive chart shown here. It graphs global energy consumption from 1800 onwards.
Until we scale up such an energy infrastructure, the world will continue to face two energy problems: hundreds of millions of people lack access to sufficient energy, and the dominance of fossil fuels in our energy system drives climate change and other health impacts such as air pollution.
