Countries with the highest population, such as China (1.4B), India (1.3B) and the U.S (330M) coincidentally also lead the charts in terms of overall energy consumption; with demand for more energy increasing.
Accounting for 24% of global energy consumption and with the fastest rate of global energy consumption growth for 18 consecutive years, China, the worlds most populated country and one of the world’s largest exporters consumes the most energy.
The United States, with a considerably smaller population, broke all previous energy consumption records in 2018 by consuming 101 quadrillion BTUs, a 4% increase from 2017 and a .3% increase over the previous 2007 consumption record.
