*In this Review, primary energy comprises commercially traded fuels only. Excluded, therefore, are fuels such as wood, peat and animal waste that, although important in many countries,
are unreliably documented in terms of consumption statistics. Also excluded are wind, geothermal and solar power generation.
◆Less than 0.05%.
Notes: Oil consumption is measured in million tonnes; other fuels in million tonnes of oil equivalent.
Growth rates are adjusted for leap years.

*In this Review, primary energy comprises commercially traded fuels only. Excluded, therefore, are fuels such as wood, peat and animal waste that, although important in many countries,
are unreliably documented in terms of consumption statistics. Also excluded are wind, geothermal and solar power generation.
†Less than 0.05.
Note: Oil consumption is measured in million tonnes; other fuels in million tonnes of oil equivalent.

World primary energy consumption fell by 1.1% in 2009, the first decline since 1982. Consumption was weaker than average in all regions. While oil remains
the leading fuel (accounting for 34.8% of global primary energy consumption), it continues to lose market share. Coal’s share of global energy consumption
was the highest since 1970.

Oil remains the world’s dominant fuel, although it has lost market share over the past decade – globally and in every region. Natural gas has the leading market share
in Europe and Eurasia, while coal is the dominant fuel in Asia Pacific. Regionally, oil and natural gas have the highest market shares in the Middle East; coal in
Asia Pacific; and nuclear and hydro in Europe and Eurasia.

While coal remains the world’s most abundant fossil fuel, with an R/P ratio of 119 years, proved reserves of oil and natural gas increased in 2009 and have tended
to rise over time. OECD countries account for less than 10% of global proved reserves for oil and natural gas, but 42.6% of proved coal reserves.
