If we want a better world, we have to get a sense of how much energy it would take. First we look at the status quo, then we envision some hypothetical scenarios.

Methodologies
First we define the scale (X axis) (same for every bar graph):
- 1 pixel ≡ 24 Mtoe/year
Next, here are the methodologies for each bar graph:
Status quo
Using data from IEA (international energy agency):
- (1) IEA, Key World Energy Statistics 2020 - Page 47 - Simplified energy balance table - World energy balance, 2018
- (2) IEA (2021), Energy Efficiency Indicators: Overview, IEA, Paris - https://www.iea.org/reports/energy-efficiency-indicators-overview
Source (1) has general stats about worldwide total final energy consumption (TFC), and what share of that is used in industry and transport.
Source (2) has more detailed breakdowns for energy usage types, but they are only based on a handful of countries - mostly developed countries
We use these together, to estimate how energy is used globally.
Does not include the fuel used in generating electricity.

Note that this is wildly different from industry.energy which is global. That's because a lot of manufacturing happens in poorer countries.

Non-energy use of fuels
If every country was as "developed" as western nations
Take the numbers from the status quo, and scale up some of them.
Use the ratio of energy-per-capita, in developed countries vs world average.
- Page 49: OECD energy balance, 2018
Using data from 2020
OECD countries are: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Mexico, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States.

(calculation loading)
Residential heating - not scaled, because most developing countries are in warm climates.

Residential other - scaled
(calculation loading)
Commercial & public
We have to scale just the non-heating component, but we don't have exact data on it. Best estimate: assume that the status quo is 50/50 heating & nonheating (similar to residential). So we scale up half of it.

Minimum
This bar graph has not been made yet. It will be based on the minimal consumption scenario.
