This statistic displays the annual freshwater usage of the energy industry worldwide in 2015, by sector. During this time, the electricity sector consumed about 6.48 cubic kilometers of freshwater. Freshwater use in the gas and electricity sector are primarily confined within the region of where the demand originates, and on the other hand, the petroleum sector often consumes freshwater outside of national boundaries.
