        "summary": "The International Energy Agency's EnergyMapped 2026 report reveals that traditional energy sources continue to dominate globally, with oil leading in 39 countries, natural gas in 29, and coal persisting as a key resource in Asia, including Indonesia. While Europe and the Middle East lean towards oil and gas, Africa's reliance on biomass for basic needs highlights persistent regional disparities in energy access. This outlook underscores the challenges in transitioning to cleaner energy, particularly in high-consumption Asian nations that will shape future global emissions.",
        "content": "<p>The world\u2019s energy landscape remains heavily tilted towards legacy\nsources. Oil leads in the most countries, while coal continues to be a\nmainstay in Asia.<\/p>\n<p>The International Energy Agency\u2019s EnergyMapped 2026 maps 112\ncountries. The results show little change from old patterns: oil is\ndominant in 39 countries, natural gas in 29 countries, followed by coal\nand biomass filling specific regions.<\/p>\n<p>The differences are evident in the regions. Europe and the Middle\nEast lean towards oil and gas. Asia holds on to coal. Africa still\nrelies on biomass for basic needs.<\/p>\n<p>Oil Remains the Primary Choice<\/p>\n<p>Oil emerges as the largest energy source in 39 countries. This figure\nis the highest compared to other energies.<\/p>\n<p>Consumption is supported by the transportation and industrial\nsectors. Demand remains high due to established distribution networks\nand usage. Even countries with other energy productions still rely on\noil in significant portions.<\/p>\n<p>The United States remains in this group, along with several other\nadvanced economies.<\/p>\n<p>Natural gas ranks second with 29 countries. This source is widely\nused for electricity and industry because it is more flexible.<\/p>\n<p>Countries with pipeline networks and LNG facilities tend to position\ngas as the primary source. Energy transitions in some regions also\nposition gas as an intermediate stage.<\/p>\n<p>Asia Persists with Coal<\/p>\n<p>China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam still rely on coal. High\nconsumption is due to available domestic supplies and power plants that\nhave been built for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>The impact is direct on global emissions. These countries will\ndetermine the direction of future changes, especially in reducing coal\nusage.<\/p>\n<p>Biomass Still Prevalent in Africa<\/p>\n<p>In many African countries, biomass remains dominant. Firewood and\ncharcoal are used for household needs.<\/p>\n<p>Uneven electricity access keeps this pattern alive. Outside Africa,\nonly a few countries have similar patterns, such as Finland and\nPakistan.<\/p>",
