In this statistic, primary energy comprises commercially traded fuels, including modern renewable energy sources used to generate electricity. Not included are fuels such as wood, peat and animals waste. Even though they present important energy sources in some countries, there are few reliable statistics available regarding their consumption. Oil consumption was measured in million metric tons; other fuels in million metric tons of oil equivalent.
The figures before 2007 are taken from a previous edition of the publication.
European Union includes all 27 member states (as of June 2013).
