  • Production > Kt of oil equivalent per 1000: Energy production refers to forms of primary energy--petroleum (crude oil, natural gas liquids, and oil from nonconventional sources), natural gas, solid fuels (coal, lignite, and other derived fuels), and combustible renewables and waste--and primary electricity, all converted into oil equivalents. Figures expressed per thousand population for the same year.
  • Energy supply > Renewable energy > Contribution of renewables to energy supply per million: The table refers to the contribution of renewables to total primary energy supply (TPES) in OECD countries. Renewables include the primary energy equivalent of hydro (excluding pumped storage), geothermal, solar, wind, tide and wave. It also includes solid biomass, biogasoline, biodiesel, other liquid biofuels, biogas, industrial waste and municipal waste. Biomass is defined as any plant matter used directly as fuel or converted into fuels (e.g. charcoal) or electricity and/or heat. Included here are wood, vegetal waste (including wood waste and crops used for energy production), ethanol, animal materials/wastes and sulphite lyes. Municipal waste comprises wastes produced by the residential, commercial and public service sectors that are collected by local authorities for disposal in a central location for the production of heat and/or power. The forecasts provided in the table refer to the Reference Scenario of the World Energy Outlook. Figures expressed per million population for the same year.
  • SF6 gas emissions > Thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent: SF6 gas emissions (thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent). Sulfur hexafluoride is used largely to insulate high-voltage electric power equipment.
  • Road sector energy consumption > Kt of oil equivalent: Road sector energy consumption (kt of oil equivalent). Road sector energy consumption is the total energy used in the road sector including petroleum products, natural gas, electricity, and combustible renewable and waste.
  • Road sector energy consumption > % of total energy consumption: Road sector energy consumption (% of total energy consumption). Road sector energy consumption is the total energy used in the road sector including petroleum products, natural gas, electricity, and combustible renewable and waste. Total energy consumption is the total country energy consumption.
  • Road sector diesel fuel consumption > Kt of oil equivalent: Road sector diesel fuel consumption (kt of oil equivalent). Diesel is heavy oils used as a fuel for internal combustion in diesel engines.
  • Hydroelectricity > Consumption > Million tonnes oil equivalent > Per capita: Hydroelectricity: Consumption, Million tonnes oil equivalent, as of end of 2004
