Over recent decades, energy use across the world has increased considerably. From 1990 to 2015, total global energy consumption rose by 62%, driven mainly by higher energy consumption in emerging markets such as Africa and the Middle East. Higher energy consumption in Asia-Pacific has also been driven by fast-growing industrialising nations such as China, where total energy consumption grew 241% from 1995 to 2015.
