Facts In 2009, petroleum, coal, and natural gas were the top sources of the world’s energy supply, accounting for 33, 26, and 21 percent, respectively. Renewable energy from nuclear, hydro, and solar sources constituted less than 10 percent of the world’s energy consumption in 2009. Sub-Saharan Africa still gets more than half of its energy from traditional combustible renewable sources and waste. China, Brazil, Canada, the United States, and the Russian Federation produce more than half of the world’s hydropower energy. Latin America and the Caribbean produces more than 55 percent of its electricity from hydropower. About 1.8 billion people in the world live without access to electricity. In Sub-Saharan Africa, almost 68 percent of people live without access to electricity.
