The 2025 Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy was published on June 26, 2025, covering full-year 2024 data on global energy and emissions statistics.

Global energy supply reached an all-time high with natural gas contributing the most incremental supply additions of any single energy source in 2024.

Key insights

Global Trends

Nearly 87% of global energy consumption was accounted for by fossil fuels. The natural gas share of global energy supply is 25%.
Natural gas provided 33% of the incremental increase in global energy supplies in 2024, the largest of any fuel source. Combined, natural gas, coal, and oil met 64% of the incremental increase in global energy demand in 2024.
Natural gas demand increased by 2.5%.
Natural gas-fired electricity generation also increased by 2.5%, resulting in a 23% share of global gas-fired electricity generation.
Global natural gas production increased by 1.2% in 2024.
Global trade (pipeline and LNG) increased by 3.3%, its first rise since 2021.

United States trends

Natural gas demand increased by 1.3%.
The United States accounted for 25% of global natural gas production and 22% of consumption.
Natural gas production declined slightly by 0.3% in 2024 (37.19 Exajoules [EJ]), yet domestic supplies increased from 31.98 EJ in 2023 to 32.48 EJ in 2024, reflecting pipeline inflows and storage.
Gas-fired electricity generation increased 3.3% from 1,942 TWh in 2023 to 2,005 TWh in 2024.
Natural gas imports increased by 1.1%, and exports increased by 8.1%.
