QUESTION: 44

What proportion of energy consumption is accounted for by transport, as opposed to manufacturing and residential, according to the International Energy Authority?

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The answer is 34%, so around one-third of all energy use on the planet is used for transportation.
(Source: IEA, 2017 quoted by Profex Publishing Ltd)
So, say, a European firm sourcing products from, say, China, uses a large amount of energy just to get goods from manufacturer to market. Or a US retailer buying from a supplier across the country, using road transport, is soaking up a large amount of energy.

I read something yesterday (Feb 2022) which I thought was interesting. Imagine someone drives a modern large 4 x 4 'car'. It might weigh, say, 1,500 kilos. The driver might weigh 100 kilos, say. Most such vehicles on the road have no passengers - they are transporting the driver from A to B. Thus to take something weighing 100 kilos from A to B, sufficient energy to transport (1,500 + 100 kilos) must be used.
Compare this to the same person going from A to B on a bicycle, even an electric bicycle.
