Vehicle penetration 2000 to 2040. Natural gas is projected to account for more than one quarter of all global energy needs by 2040 and it is expected to overtake coal as the largest source of electricity. Wind, solar and biofuels are likely to make up about 4% of energy supplies in 2040, up from 1% in 2010. Source: ExxonMobil.
