| Short Definition: | 0 | ||||||||
| Long Definition: | Energy use refers to use of primary energy before transformation to other end-use fuels, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport. | ||||||||

| Limitations and exceptions: | The IEA makes these estimates in consultation with national statistical offices, oil companies, electric utilities, and national energy experts. The IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes, and energy statistics undergo continual changes in coverage or methodology as more detailed energy accounts become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable. | ||||||||

| Statistical concept and methodology: | Total
energy use refers to the use of primary energy before transformation to other
end-use fuels (such as electricity and refined petroleum products). It
includes energy from combustible renewables and waste - solid biomass and
animal products, gas and liquid from biomass, and industrial and municipal
waste. Biomass is any plant matter used directly as fuel or converted into
fuel, heat, or electricity. Energy data are compiled by the International
Energy Agency (IEA). IEA data for economies that are not members of the
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) are based on
national energy data adjusted to conform to annual questionnaires completed
by OECD member governments. Data for combustible renewables and waste are
often based on small surveys or other incomplete information and thus give
only a broad impression of developments and are not strictly comparable
across countries. The IEA reports include country notes that explain some of
these differences. All forms of energy - primary energy and primary
electricity - are converted into oil equivalents. A notional thermal
efficiency of 33 percent is assumed for converting nuclear electricity into
oil equivalents and 100 percent efficiency for converting hydroelectric
power. Unit kt refers to kilotonnes. |

| Development relevance: | In
developing economies growth in energy use is closely related to growth in the
modern sectors - industry, motorized transport, and urban areas - but energy
use also reflects climatic, geographic, and economic factors (such as the
relative price of energy). Energy use has been growing rapidly in low- and
middle-income economies, but high-income economies still use almost five
times as much energy on a per capita basis. Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form, and reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are being made.
