Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy
This is a polygon dataset representing 2023 energy data from the 2024 Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy. This is a continuation of an annual review that had been published since 1952 by the energy company bp.
All values are expressed in exajoules (EJ) for comparability.
Reserves are converted to EJ using conversion factors of 0.043 EJ per MM tonnes oil equivalent (MMTOE) and 1.019 EJ per trillion cubic feet (TCF) natural gas. Although the heat content of coal varies widely by quality, the US average 0.0223 EJ per MM tonnes (19.180 million Btu per short ton) is used for simplicity.
Data is for 2023 except where noted. Reserves numbers are from 2020 because the methodology and timing for reserves calculation was under review at the time the report was published.
There are four types of numbers depending on the resource:
- Reserves for fossil fuels represent the estimated heat value for quantities of a fuel resource in the ground within a country's borders "...which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years...under current economic and operating conditions" (bp 2019).
- Production for fossil fuels represents the estimated heat value of the fuel produced each year.
- Generation for non-fossil fuel generated electricity represents the heat equivalent in fossil fuel that would be needed to generate that same amount of electricity each year. Generation and consumption heat values for non-fossil fuels do not align because the conversion factor for electricity to heat value (calorific) equivalents adjusts for fossil-fuel generating plant losses (around 59.6%) so the numbers are comparable to fossil-fuels.
- Consumption is the estimated heat value of a resource consumed within the borders of the country each year. Primary consumption is total energy consumed within a country in a year measured from primary fossil fuel or renewable energy sources.
Country boundaries are from the Natural Earth large scale (1:10m Cultural Vectors) polygons for world countries (Admin 0 - Countries). French Guiana and Antarctica have been removed to facilitate cleaner mapping in Mercator or equirectantular projections.
2023 population data is from the World Bank (https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?view=chart), and is provided to facilitate per capita normalization.
