Primary energy consumption by country 2019
What is primary energy?
Primary energy is taken directly from natural resources such as crude oil, coal, and wind. For example, crude oil is refined into a secondary fuel, such as gasoline or diesel, that can be used directly. The fuels that are used for primary energy are called primary fuels. A country’s total primary energy supply is a measure of the country’s primary energy sources. On the other hand, end use energy is directly consumed by the user and includes electricity, gasoline, and natural gas.
