This is a stacked bar chart showing the distribution of total energy consumed by each region, by source. This chart has been repurposed out of the BP statistical review of world energy 2022.

Key Takeaways

• Carbon-based energy methods are still the dominant form worldwide, with promising exceptions coming from Central and South America.
