Emphasis added:
Global primary energy consumption grew strongly in 2017, led by natural gas and renewables, with coal’s share of the energy mix continuing to decline. However, with the rising demand for energy, 2017 saw a material increase in carbon emissions of 1.6 percent following three years of little or no growth.
That's according to the 2018 edition of the BP Statistical Review of World Energy which indicates that global energy demand grew by 2.2 percent in 2017, a figure higher than the 10-year average of 1.7 percent. This above-trend growth was driven by stronger economic growth in the developed world and a slight slowing in the pace of improvement in energy intensity. China’s most energy-intensive sectors returned to growth, and coal consumption increased for the first time in four years, led by growing demand in India and China.
