SOURCES: Billion short tons of coal consumed per country per year.; Coal production figures for year 2002; Commercial energy use (kg of oil equivalent per capita). Commercial energy use refers to apparent consumption, which is equal to indigenous production plus imports and stock changes, minus exports and fuels supplied to ships and aircraft engaged in international transport.; Total exported electricity in kilowatt-hours ; The percentage share of electricity generated from each energy source. These are fossil fuel, hydro, nuclear, and other (solar, geothermal, and wind).; Ratio of premium gasoline price to world average
Units: Ratio of Gasoline Price to World Average
Units: Pump price for super gasoline (US$ per liter): Fuel prices refer to the pump prices of the most widely sold grade of gasoline. Prices have been converted from the local currency to U.S. dollars, and the ratio of the gas price to the world average in the same time period was used in order to normalize the data. For more information, see World Development Indicators, Table 3.12.; Number of terrawatt-hours of nuclear energy consumed per country per year.; Number of terrawatt-hours of nuclear energy consumed per country per year. Figures are provided for the year 2002.; ; MWe = Megawatt net (electrical as distinct from thermal); Nuclear waste generated
Units: Standardized Scale (z-score)
Units: Two variables were initially available for Radioactive Waste: Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) as generated and Accumulated Quantity (cubic meters) after treatment. We calculated the z-scores for the two variables, in order to make them comparable, and took whichever variable was available for each country. For the three countries (Australia, Canada and Czech Republic) which had both variables, we took the higher.; Oil: Consumption, Thousand barrels daily, share of total (%), as of end of 2004

Notes: Others have less than 0.05%; Crude oil refining capacity; Primary Energy: Consumption, Million tonnes oil equivalent, share of total (%), as of end of 2004

Notes: Others have less than 0.05%; PowerStream

ALTERNATIVE NAMES: South Africa, Republic of South Africa, rep. of s. africa, SAFRICA
