What are the biggest sources of energy today?
…on record.
But what are the energy sources to which the world is turning to meet this growing demand? The answer to these questions can be found in our Global Energy Review 2026 https://www.iea.org/reports/global-energy-review-2026, which offers a comprehensive annual assessment of key trends across the energy sector.
The report shows that many types of energy met global demand last year. Oil, natural gas and coal continued to play the biggest roles, accounting for almost 80% of total energy supply. Low-emissions sources – renewables and nuclear – accounted for around 20%.
