Global energy demand has been heavily impacted by the ongoing restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, energy demand changes have varied around the world. In the United States and the European Union, it is projected that coal demand will fall an estimated 1.45 percent and 1.9 percent, respectively, in 2021 relative to 2019 levels. In contrast, coal demand in China will increase by more than three percent. Oil demand has been the most negatively affected energy source due to the significant restrictions on mobility. Meanwhile, renewable energy demand has experienced growth during the pandemic. In 2020, global primary energy demand fell four percent year on year.
