World Energy Balances

The World Energy Balances online data service contains energy balances for 190 countries and regional aggregates. The figures are expressed in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe) and in terajoules. Conversion factors used to calculate energy balances and indicators (including GDP, population, industrial production index and ratios calculated with the energy data) are also provided. The database also includes transparent notes on methodologies and sources for country-level data. In general, the data are available from 1971 (1960 for OECD countries).

The World 2021 final edition includes complete annual data for 155 countries, 34 regional aggregates and world: for 1960-2019 for OECD countries and regions; and 1971-2019 for non-OECD countries and regions; world. It also includes provisional energy supply and electricity generation data for 2020 (selected countries).

In a continuous effort to provide users with more timely data, the 2021 edition was expanded to increase data coverage for the most recent year:

• Full 2020 energy statistics tables and balances are available for 8 non-OECD countries: Argentina; Benin; Brazil; Ghana; Hong Kong (China); Mauritius; Chinese Taipei and Uruguay.
• Coverage of total electricity generation by product has been extended, now including 47 non-OECD countries and additional regional aggregates such as the European Union and the IEA Family; with nuclear generation now available for all countries and regional aggregates.
• Coverage of imports and exports of crude oil and oil products is complete for People’s Republic of China; India; Lao People's Democratic Republic and the Russian Federation; with data for imports and exports of crude oil, exports of NGL and imports and exports of total oil products also available for another 23 non-OECD countries and some regional aggregates, such as European Union, China (P.R. of China and Hong Kong, China) and G8. The indicators database now includes 2020 population, GDP and GDPPPP data for all countries. The other energy indicators have been calculated for 2020 where it was possible.
