Energy is the important source for the development of the society and it‘s the basic support of national economy and the base for human living. As the development of economy, abrupt increase of population and continuous improvement of living standards, the demand of energy increases continuously, which caused the impetuous scramble of energy source in the world, and urged the attention of the countries for current status and development trends of energy.

Objectives and Topics
The primary objective of this review is to analyze the current status and developmental trends of global energy consumption, production, and supply. It addresses the challenges posed by rising energy demands, resource scarcity, and the environmental impact of traditional fossil fuels, while exploring the shift toward diversified, clean, and efficient energy structures.
- Analysis of global energy supply and consumption patterns for major resources (Petroleum, Natural Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Renewables).
- Evaluation of the impact of economic development and population growth on energy demand.
- Investigation of future energy trends including diversification, cleanness, and globalization.
- Discussion of energy marketization and efficiency improvements in both developed and developing economies.
Excerpt from the Book
A. Influenced of Economy Development and Population Increase, Primary Energy Consumption Amount up Continuously
As the global economy dimension expands continuously, global energy consumption constantly increases. GDP of the whole world in 1990 was 26.5 trillion dollars (calculated supposing the price index did not change in 1995); in 2000 the number reached 34.3 trillion, with annual increase 2.7%. According to BP Energy Statistics in 2011, the global primary energy consumption in 1973 was only 5.73 billion tons oil equivalent, while the amount reached 12.274 billion tons oil equivalent in 2011 [2],[6]. The annual growth rate of global energy consumption in the past 30 years is about 1.8%. Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 shows growth & distribution of global primary energy consumption.
