Energy demand

It's good to get a general sense of the world's energy demand, to figure out how it could be met without fossil fuels.

Status quo

note: (...)( disregard the last section "non-energy use of fuels" as this page is only focused on phasing out the burning of fossil fuels for energy; not on phasing out other uses of fossil fuels )

With electric vehicles

EVs are more energy-efficient but take more energy to manufacture. In an all-electric world, a quick estimate might be to subtract half of the all transport-related energy, and add 20% to the 'industrial' section.
