The global energy supply became 6% cleaner from 1971 to 1990,in response to the oil shocks of the 1970s. The IEA said that this reflects the continued domination of fossil fuels—particularly coal—in the energy mix and the slow uptake of other, lower-carbon supply technologies. tCO 2 /TJ (2.39 tCO 2 /toe); in 2010 it was 56.7
