SOURCES: 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 electricity consumed annually plus imports and minus exports, expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution. ; The annual electricity generated expressed in kilowatt-hours. The discrepancy between the amount of electricity generated and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is accounted for as loss in transmission and distribution. ; 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.; Annual utilization of geothermal power from direct-use sources in GWh/yr as of 2000.; This entry is the total natural gas consumed in cubic meters (cu m). The discrepancy between the amount of natural gas produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes and other complicating factors. ; This entry is the total natural gas produced in cubic meters (cu m). The discrepancy between the amount of natural gas produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes and other complicating factors. ; 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.; This entry is the total oil consumed in barrels per day (bbl/day). The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors. ; This entry is the total oil produced in barrels per day (bbl/day). The discrepancy between the amount of oil produced and/or imported and the amount consumed and/or exported is due to the omission of stock changes, refinery gains, and other complicating factors. ; Total primary energy supply TOE (tonnes of oil equivalent) per person (Year 2000).; PowerStream
