Consommation mondiale d’énergie 1800-2000 : les sources d’information

World energy consumption 1800-2000: sources of information

The definition of representative data on world energy consumption (Read: World Energy Consumption 1800-2000: Definitions and Measurements) is one thing, the identification of sources of information allowing the reconstruction of statistical series over a long period for all regions of the world is another. What data are available? Some time series cover the energy consumption…

World energy consumption 1800-2000: definitions and measurements

The 889 million inhabitants (Mh) populating the planet in 1800 took from their natural environment a little over 300 million tons of oil equivalent (Mtoe), or 0.34 toe per capita. Two centuries later, this withdrawal by a world population that has crossed the threshold of 6 billion (Gh) has risen to 9.2 billion toe (Gtoe),…

Energy in India: the liberalization of the 2000s and its consequences

At the end of the Fifth Plan (1974-79), the Indian economy completed three decades of growth at an average annual rate of around 5%, which, after the downturn at the end of the 1960s and the impact of the oil shocks of the 1970s, was less and less able to meet the expectations of a…

Energy in India: from Jawaharlal Nehru to Indira Gandhi

In 1947, the year of its political independence, the Indian Union, separated from Pakistan, had a population of approximately 340 million inhabitants with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) estimated at 600 dollars per capita, a third of that of Japan, but 50% more than that of China[1]. About 60% of this product comes from agriculture,…

World energy consumption 1800-2000: the results

The definitions of energy consumption adopted (See: World Energy Consumption 1800-2000: Definitions and Measurements) and the sources of information inventoried (See: World Energy Consumption 1800-2000: Sources of Information) make it possible to construct chronicles of the past two centuries during which the average annual growth of the world population (1.0%) was largely exceeded by that…

Mineral coal: withdrawals and divestments are increasing

Air pollution from Beijing to New Delhi and global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions[1], mineral coal is in the dock[2] Can we get rid of it quickly, or will we have to live with it for decades to come? In support of the first option, calls to stop developing it have multiplied since in 2014 Stanford University…

Energy in India: the genesis of its powerful coal industry

The Indian coal industry is largely ignored in many writings on the economy and even on energy in this country[1]. Yet it was the first, and for a long time the only, energy industry in a country condemned to using traditional energy sources: firewood, dried animal dung and animal muscle power. How did India integrate…
