Globally, nonrenewable energy sources like fossil fuels still account for the majority of human energy consumption, but living organisms rely on a different set of inputs. This diverse landscape of resource utilization answers the fundamental question of what are energy needs supplied by, spanning from biological processes to global infrastructure.

In 2023, renewable energy saw a 140% increase in capacity compared to the 16% increase for fossil fuels between 2015 and 2024, reflecting a global shift towards cleaner power generation. This article explores what is the best natural source of energy by analyzing the major renewable options available today.

According to the Energy Institute's 2024 Statistical Review, fossil fuels accounted for over 81% of global primary energy consumption in 2023. This stark figure illustrates that despite a rise in renewables, the world still heavily relies on traditional sources for its power needs and provides the context for answering where do we mainly get our energy from.
