Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your chosen country across all of the key metrics on this topic.
In the selection box above you can also add or remove additional countries and they will appear on all of the charts on this page. This allows you to compare specific countries you might be interested in, and measure progress against others.
In the energy domain, there are many different units thrown around – joules, exajoules, million tonnes of oil equivalents, barrel equivalents, British thermal units, terawatt-hours, to name a few. This can be confusing, and make comparisons difficult. So at Our World in Data we try to maintain consistency by converting all energy data to watt-hours. We do this to compare energy data across different metrics and sources.
How many people do not have access to electricity?
Electricity is a good that adds massive value to modern life: from having light at night; to washing clothes; cooking meals; running machinery; or connecting with people across the world. Many would argue that it is a crucial for poverty alleviation, economic growth and improved living standards.1
This interactive chart shows the percentage of people that have access to electricity.
How many people do not have access to clean fuels for cooking?
Having clean fuels and technologies for cooking – meaning non-solid fuels such as natural gas, ethanol or even electric technologies – makes these processes more efficient, saving both time and energy.
This interactive chart shows the percentage of the population that have access to clean cooking fuels for cooking.
When we compare the total energy consumption of countries the differences often reflect differences in population size.
It''s useful to look at differences in energy consumption per capita.
This interactive chart shows the average energy consumption per person each year.
How much total energy – combining electricity, transport and heat – does the country consume each year?
This interactive chart shows primary energy consumption for the country each year.
How is energy consumption changing year-to-year in absolute terms?
Many countries have seen large increases in the amount of energy they consume year-on-year, as people get richer and populations grow.
How is total energy consumption changing from year-to-year? Is demand increasing or decreasing?
This interactive chart shows the annual change in primary energy consumption, given as a percentage of the previous year.
Electricity is often the most ''visible'' form of energy that we rely on day-to-day – it keeps our lights, TVs, computers and internet running.
How much electricity is generated per person?
This interactive chart shows per capita electricity generation.
Like total energy, the amount of electricity a country generates in total is largely reflected by population size, as well as the average incomes of people in the given country.
This interactive chart shows the total amount of electricity the country generates in a given year.
Where do countries get their energy from – coal, oil, gas, nuclear energy or renewables? It''s usually some combination of some, if not all, of these sources.
But the energy mix – the balance of sources of energy in the supply – is becoming increasingly important as countries try to shift away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources of energy (nuclear or renewables including hydropower, solar and wind).
These interactive charts show the energy mix of the country.
One is presented as a stacked area chart – allowing us to see a full breakdown of the sources of energy in the supply. The line chart shows the percentage of total energy supplied by each source.
What share of the country''s energy consumption comes from coal?
What share of the country''s energy consumption comes from oil?
What share of the country''s energy consumption comes from gas?
Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels have become the dominant energy source for most countries across the world.
But the burning of fossil fuels – coal, oil, and gas – is responsible for around three-quarters of global greenhouse gas emissions. They are also a major source of air pollution, which is responsible for at least five million premature deaths every year.
This interactive chart shows the share of energy that comes from fossil fuels.
To reduce CO2 emissions and exposure to local air pollution, we want to transition our energy systems away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources.
Low-carbon energy sources include nuclear and renewable technologies.
