The Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy analyses global energy market data from the previous year. Since 1952, it has provided timely, comprehensive and objective data to the energy community – originally from bp and, since 2023, under the custodianship of the Energy Institute and its co-authors Kearney and KPMG.

The Statistical Review remains full, first and free: the most complete and reliable account of energy production, consumption, trade and emissions; the first data source to provide a global picture of the previous year; and entirely free to access.

An essential resource for understanding the evolving energy landscape, the latest edition (published in June 2025) presents new global, regional, and country-level data, illustrating how the energy system responded to major geopolitical, economic, and environmental events in 2024 – including global inflation, conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, and international climate initiatives.

The report also provides insights into the performance of energy technologies and sources, energy prices and trade flows, consumer demand trends, and greenhouse gas emissions.
