What does Q stand for?

According to the latest statistics from the US government, global energy consumption is still increasing and by 2030, it''s expected that the world will require 700 quadrillion BTU in order to keep running.

2 quadrillion BTUs, of which liquid petroleum and biofuels would account for 59%, the share of natural gas would be about 32% and that of hydropower and wood would be about 9%.

83 Quadrillion BTU and the "End Use" after 9% T&D losses was 13.

Sun, Oil World energy production from oil, 2003 148 quadrillion Btu* Energy production from "new" renewable 6 quadrillion Btu sources (excludes large hydroelectric power plants) Energy production from all renewables 33 quadrillion Btu (includes large hydro) World annual average growth in wind +28 percent generating capacity, 2000-2004 Annual average growth in solar +32 percent photovoltaic generating capacity Annual average growth in biofuels +18 percent (ethanol, biodiesel) production Annual average growth in oil production +1.

In 1963, energy consumption was about 50 quadrillion Btus.

Worldwide, total energy use is projected to grow from 404 quadrillion Btu in 2001 to 640 quadrillion Btu in 2025.

The forecast is expressed in different units, total energy being given in quadrillion BTUs while the coal is in short (American) tons the gas in trillion cubic feet and oil in million barrels per day.

The NPC, he noted, pegged 2005 world demand at 446 quadrillion btu (quads): 40% oil, 24% gas, 24% coal, and 9% renewables.
