Facts In 2007, petroleum, coal, and natural gas were the top sources of the world’s energy consumption, accounting for 34, 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 2007. 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 produced more than half of the world’s hydropower energy in 2007. Latin America and the Caribbean produces more than 55 percent of its electricity from hydropower. About 1.5 billion people in the world lived without access to electricity in 2008.
