The Energy Ledger

Mix, Storage, Flows, Reserves

The physical energy system that powers everything on the site. Electricity generation mix, battery storage build-out, LNG flows, nuclear reactor status, capacity factors, hydrocarbon reserves and per-GDP energy intensity. Live World Bank energy indicators joined with curated IEA, BNEF, IGU, IAEA and EIA snapshots.

Chapter 1

The Reserves Snapshot

Ticker of top hydrocarbon reserves holders. A handful of countries own the bulk of remaining oil, gas and coal; Chapters 4 and 7 show where those reserves flow.

Chapter 2

Electricity Generation Mix

Stacked bars showing where each major economy's electricity actually comes from in 2023. The mix reflects both geology (hydro-rich Norway, gas-rich Qatar) and policy (nuclear-heavy France, coal-heavy India).

Chapter 3

The Battery Storage Revolution

BNEF Global Storage Outlook: cumulative operational GWh 2015-2030. Grid-scale batteries went from novelty to essential in five years.

Chapter 4

LNG Flows Redrawn

Post-Ukraine, US LNG dethroned Qatar as the world's biggest exporter; Europe replaced Asia as the biggest premium buyer. Filter by exporter to see specific flow patterns.

Chapter 5

The Nuclear Restart

IAEA PRIS September 2025: operable reactors + build pipeline + policy stance. China dominates the build queue; Germany's phase-out completed in 2023; Italy is putting new nuclear back on the ballot.

Chapter 6

Capacity Factors

What share of nameplate capacity each source actually delivers over a year, alongside its lifecycle CO₂ intensity. Nuclear runs flat-out; solar sits idle overnight; storage exists to bridge the gap.
