Global energy consumption has increased dramatically in recent years and is projected to continue to increase. By 2050 renewable energy consumption is expected to increase and will reach about 247 exajoules. In comparison, the total renewable energy consumption totaled 42 exajoules in 2000.
According to the source, projections were made based on the "New Momentum" scenario. The New Momentum scenario is a trajectory which takes into account the recent increase in ambition toward decarbonization of the global energy system.
