Energy in Latin America and the Caribbean

BP’s Energy Outlook published in September 2020 notes that the era of coal dominance (measured by its share of primary energy usage) ran from before 1900 to around 1960. Since 1960 we have been living in the era of oil, with natural gas also playing a prominent role. In the next 30 years, however, BP expects a big shake-up with renewable energy rising to the top from around 2035 onward.
