The new BP Statistical Review of World Energy was published this week. It’s worth a look:  a treasure trove of energy data, published annually since 1952. (Full disclosure:  I led the production of the Review for a dozen years…)

The Review has comprehensive global coverage of every energy form as well as key minerals—demand, supply, trade, prices. The focus of the Review this year is, rightly, global energy demand and CO2 emissions—both of which increased last year, albeit at below-average rates.
