Have you looked at CDIAC at Oak Ridge? Typed on tiny keyboard. Caveat lector.

I have found several references to a source for data from 1830 onwards (Schilling and Hildebrandt 1977) but have been unable to locate the actual source material. It is a German work 'Primarenergie - Elektrische Energie, Die Entwicklung des Verbrauchs, und an Elektrischer Energie an Primarenergietragern in der Welt, in dem USA, und in Deutschland seit 1830 bzw. Verlag, Gluckauf, Essen'. Others have extended this series to bring it more or less up to date but I can find no comments about cosnsitency between the historical and more recent data. Vaclav Smil also provides this data from 1800 to 2008 but for his most recent year he shows a figure of 456 Exajoules which does not compare well with 512 Exajoules reported by EIA and the similar figure of 515 Exajoules from the World Bank. There may be more recent and more reliable alternatives. Any help would be much appreciated.
