Primary Energy
Energy_per_Capita_MM_BTU
Energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita) (2014) converted to million BTU (EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE)
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.

Energy_Imports_Percent
Energy imports, net (% of energy use) (2014) (EG.IMP.CONS.ZS)
Net energy imports are estimated as energy use less production, both measured in oil equivalents. A negative value indicates that the country is a net exporter. 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.

Fossil_Percent
Fossil fuel energy consumption (% of total) (2014) (EG.USE.COMM.FO.ZS)
Fossil fuel comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products.

Nonfossil_Percent
Alternative and nuclear energy (% of total energy use) (2014) (EG.USE.COMM.CL.ZS)
Alternative energy is produced without the undesirable consequences of the burning of fossil fuels, such as high carbon dioxide emissions, which is considered to be the major contributing factor of global warming. Past few decade have seen a rise in global investment in renewable energy, led by wind and solar. In transport, major car companies are adding hybrid and full-electric vehicles to their product lines and many governments have launched plans to encourage consumers to buy these vehicles Fossil fuels continue to outpace alternative and renewable energy growth. Coal has been the fastest-growing global energy source, meeting about one-half of new electricity demand. 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. Governments in many countries are increasingly aware of the urgent need to make better use of the world's energy resources. Improved energy efficiency is often the most economic and readily available means of improving energy security and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Renewable_Percent
Renewable energy consumption (% of total final energy consumption) (EG.FEC.RNEW.ZS)
Renewable energy consumption is the share of renewables energy in total final energy consumption.

Electricity
Electricity_per_Capita_kWh
Electric power consumption (kWh per capita) (2014) (EG.USE.ELEC.KH.PC)
Electric power consumption measures the production of power plants and combined heat and power plants less transmission, distribution, and transformation losses and own use by heat and power plants.

Renewable_Electricity_Percent
Renewable electricity output (% of total electricity output) (2015) (EG.ELC.RNEW.ZS)
Renewable electricity is the share of electrity generated by renewable power plants in total electricity generated by all types of plants.

Access_to_Electricity_Percent
Access to electricity (% of population) (EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS)
Access to electricity is the percentage of population with access to electricity. Electrification data are collected from industry, national surveys and international sources.

CO2
CO2_Emissions_kt
CO2 emissions (kt) (EN.ATM.CO2E.KT(: Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring.

CO2_per_Capita_Tonnes
CO2 emissions (metric tons per capita) (EN.ATM.CO2E.PC)
Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring.

Economic
GNI_PPP_B_Dollars
GNI, PPP (current international $) (NY.GNP.MKTP.PP.CD)
This indicator provides values for gross national income (GNI. Formerly GNP) expressed in current international dollars converted by purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor. Gross national income is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad. PPP conversion factor is a spatial price deflator and currency converter that eliminates the effects of the differences in price levels between countries. From July 2020, “GNI: linked series (current LCU)” [NY.GNP.MKTP.CN.AD] is used as underlying GNI in local currency unit so that it’s in line with time series of PPP conversion factors, which are extrapolated with linked deflators.

GDP_per_Capita_PPP_Dollars
GDP per capita, PPP (current international $) (NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD)
This indicator provides per capita values for gross domestic product (GDP) expressed in current international dollars converted by purchasing power parity (PPP) conversion factor. GDP is the sum of gross value added by all resident producers in the country plus any product taxes and minus any subsidies not included in the value of the products. conversion factor is a spatial price deflator and currency converter that controls for price level differences between countries. Total population is a mid-year population based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of legal status or citizenship.

MJ_per_Dollar_GDP
Energy intensity level of primary energy (MJ/$2017 PPP GDP) (EG.EGY.PRIM.PP.KD)
Energy intensity level of primary energy is the ratio between energy supply and gross domestic product measured at purchasing power parity. Energy intensity is an indication of how much energy is used to produce one unit of economic output. Lower ratio indicates that less energy is used to produce one unit of output.

Resource_Rent_Percent_GDP
Total natural resources rents (% of GDP) (NY.GDP.TOTL.RT.ZS)
Total natural resources rents are the sum of oil rents, natural gas rents, coal rents (hard and soft), mineral rents, and forest rents.
