The US Energy Information Administration has forecast 28 per cent growth in global energy consumption between 2015 and 2040. Its outlook report also shows that global production of coal will rise by three per cent over the 25-year period. Coal consumption is expected to fall in OECD nations and China, but this will be offset by an increase in countries such as India. The report concludes that fossil fuels will still account for more than 75 per cent of global energy consumption in 2040, although electric power generation via renewables is forecast to record the strongest growth over this period.
