Full text

The analysis of the scale and dynamics of consumption of various types of primary energy sources in the global economy over a long-term period is carried out. The volumes and dynamics of carbon dioxide emissions generated as a result of consumption of various types of primary energy sources are studied. The influence of changes in the scale of consumption of various types of resources, their specific carbon intensity, as well as structural shifts in the global economic consumption of primary energy resources on the volume of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere is considered and quantified. The prospects for the transformation of the global structure of primary energy consumption are presented in the context of the global climate agenda and forecast scenarios for the development of global energy.

Keywords: energy consumption, structural changes, decarbonization, global economy, sustainable development.
