| 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: | 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. |

| Development relevance: | 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. 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. 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. |
