Total final energy consumption

Final consumption measures the needs for energy of final consumers, excluding inputs and losses involved in the energy transformation sectors.

Total primary energy consumption

Primary consumption measures the total energy consumption of a country, including all losses and own consumption within transformation process.

Share of electricity in final consumption

This corresponds to the ratio between the final consumption of electricity and the total final consumption of energy, excluding inputs and losses involved in the energy transformation sectors.

Share of fossil fuels in primary energy consumption

This corresponds to the ratio between the primary energy consumption of fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and the total primary consumption.

Final electricity consumption

Final electricity consumption measures the needs of final consumers for electricity, excluding inputs and losses involved in the energy transformation sectors.

Total electrical capacity

Installed capacity: from private and public utilities and autoproducers. Include cogeneration and fuel cells.

Total electricity generation

Electricity generation: includes the gross electricity generation from private and public utilities and autoproducers. It includes cogeneration and fuel cells.

Share of renewables in primary energy consumption

The ratio between primary consumption of renewable energy sources, either as transformation input or in final demand sectors, on the total primary energy demand.

Share of renewables in final energy consumption

This corresponds to the ratio between the final energy consumption of renewables and the total final consumption of energy, excluding inputs and losses involved in the energy transformation sectors.

Share of renewables in electricity generation

Share of renewables in electricity generation corresponds to the ratio between the electricity generated from renewable energy sources (wind, solar, large and small hydro, biomass, geothermal or others) and total electricity generation. It is expressed as a percentage (%).

Total CO2 emissions (incl. industrial processes)

CO2 emissions are anthropogenic emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels and industrial processes. CO2 emissions from the agriculture sector, land use, land use change, forestry and animal husbandry are not included. Biomass combustion is considered to be carbon-neutral.

CO2 intensity of electricity generation

CO2 intensity of electricity generation represents the amount of anthropogenic CO2 emissions associated to the generation of one kilowatt-hour of electricity. It is expressed in gram of CO2 per kilowatt-hour (gCO2/kWh).

CO2 intensity to GDP

CO2 intensity to GDP corresponds to the amount of anthropogenic CO2 emissions from fossil fuels combustion associated to the generation of one unit of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This indicator is measured in constant dollars at purchasing power parity (kgCO2/US$15ppp).

CO2 intensity per capita

CO2 intensity per capita measures the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions from fossil fuels combustion per head of population. This indicator is expressed in ton of CO2 per capita (tCO2/cap).

The government of Côte d’Ivoire plans a more than three-fold increase in oil production in the country by 2027, as output is expected to grow from around 60 kb/d to about 200 kb/d by 2027. Hydrocarbon production will be boosted by recent oil and gas discoveries at the Côte d’Ivoire’s Baleine and Calao offshore fields. The government also expects more than US$15bn to be invested in the country's oil sector in the coming years.

The US Energy Information Administration (EIA) has published its June edition of its Short-Term Energy Outlook, in which it expects US oil output to grow by 2% to 13.2 mb/d in 2024, about 40,000 bbl/d higher than its previous forecast in May, and by another 4% in 2025 to 13.7 mb/d. Global consumption of liquid fuels is expected to increase by 1.1 mb/d in 2024 and 1.5 mb/d in 2025, with most of it being from non-OECD countries. The report changes its previous report of May 2024 regarding global oil output due to the OPEC+ producer group plans to raise output from the fourth quarter onwards. According to the report, the EIA expects a decline in global oil inventories through the first quarter of 2025 and put upward pressure on oil prices. The US marketed natural gas production to fall by 1% in 2024 because of low natural gas prices, while production is expected to grow by 2% in 2025 as natural gas prices rise.

The Philippines’ Department of Energy (DOE) expects that nearly 4.2 GW of new power projects to be commissioned in 2024, mixing renewables and conventional sources. This includes the start of commercial operation of a record solar power capacity of nearly 2 GW (1,985 MW) that should be commissioned in 2024, and two large thermal power plants, namely the 1,320 MW (4x440 MW) Batangas CCGT power project and the 600 MW (4x150 MW) Mariveles coal-fired power project (unit 1 already operational and 3 other units under testing and commissioning). In addition, at least 590 MW of battery energy storage should be commissioned during the year.

The Russian Ministry of Economic Development has confirmed the official forecasts for gas production in Russia for the 2024-2027 period. Gas production in the country should reach 666.7 bcm in 2024, 695.4 bcm in 2025, 707.5 bcm in 2026 and 727.3 bcm in 2027. The ministry has also unveiled a conservative forecast alongside the baseline one, with production reaching 654 bcm in 2024 and potentially standing at 659 bcm for 2025, 666 bcm in 2026 and 671 bcm for 2027.
