How Humanity Powered Itself: 120 Years of Energy in One Race

A century-spanning visualization of humanity's energy appetite. This bar chart race tracks global primary energy consumption by source from 1900 to 2026. Watch coal displace traditional biomass, oil overtake coal, natural gas surge, and nuclear and renewables enter the race. Data drawn from BP's Statistical Review of World Energy and Vaclav Smil's historical energy estimates. Each bar represents exajoules (EJ) of energy consumed globally per year.

Data: BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2025, Our World in Data (Energy Mix), Vaclav Smil estimates for pre-1965
