Energy consumption in the world in 2020 showed a record drop in 75 years

"Energy consumption fell 4.5% in 2020 - the largest drop since 1945," the survey notes.

Oil accounted for three quarters of the fall, experts said, although natural gas and coal also showed significant declines.

At the same time, renewable energy sources - solar, wind and hydropower - have increased in terms of consumption.

The largest drop in energy consumption is in the United States, India and Russia.
