This statistic displays the projection of primary energy consumption worldwide in 2040 from various sources, by energy source. The International Energy Outlook under the EIA projected that primary energy consumption of energy from nuclear power would reach 38 quadrillion British thermal units in that year based on their reference scenario.
Outlook scenarios for primary energy consumption worldwide in 2040, by energy source (in quadrillion British thermal units)*
Outlook scenarios are as follows: BP (Evolving Transition), EIA International Energy Outlook 2017 (Reference), Equinor 2018 Energy Perspectives (Reform), ExxonMobil 2018 Outlook for Energy (Reference), IEA World Energy Outlook 2018 (New Policies), IEEJ Outlook 2019 (Reference), OPEC World Oil Outlook 2018 (Reference), Shell 2018 (Sky).
