As of 2024, bioenergy accounted for approximately seven percent of the global primary energy demand, with fossil fuels constituting the majority of the energy mix. In a net-zero scenario forecast for 2050, bioenergy is expected to take on a significantly larger role. In this scenario, the bioenergy share of the global primary energy demand is anticipated to more than double, reaching 20 percent. Other scenarios forecast smaller shares of bioenergy in the overall demand for primary energy worldwide, however.
