Data on Energy by Our World in Data

Our complete Energy dataset is a collection of key metrics maintained by Our World in Data. It is updated regularly and includes data on energy consumption (primary energy, per capita, and growth rates), energy mix, electricity mix and other relevant metrics.

The complete Our World in Data Energy dataset

🗂️ Download our complete Energy dataset : CSV | XLSX | JSON

The CSV and XLSX files follow a format of 1 row per location and year. The JSON version is split by country, with an array of yearly records.

The variables represent all of our main data related to energy consumption, energy mix, electricity mix as well as other variables of potential interest.

We will continue to publish updated data on energy as it becomes available. Most metrics are published on an annual basis.

A full codebook is made available, with a description and source for each variable in the dataset.

Our source data and code

The dataset is built upon a number of datasets and processing steps: - Statistical review of world energy (Energy Institute, EI): - Source data - Ingestion code - Basic processing code - Further processing code - International energy data (U.S. Energy Information Administration, EIA): - Source data - Ingestion code - Basic processing code - Further processing code - Energy from fossil fuels (The Shift Dataportal): - Source data - Ingestion code - Basic processing code - Further processing code - Yearly Electricity Data (Ember): - Source data - Ingestion code - Basic processing code - Further processing code - European Electricity Review (Ember): - Source data - Ingestion code - Basic processing code - Further processing code - Combined Electricity (Our World in Data based on Ember's Yearly Electricity Data and European Electricity Review): - Processing code - Energy mix (Our World in Data based on EI's Statistical review of world energy): - Processing code - Fossil fuel production (Our World in Data based on EI's Statistical review of world energy & The Shift Dataportal's Energy from fossil fuels): - Processing code - Primary energy consumption (Our World in Data based on EI's Statistical review of world energy &...

The data this week comes from Our World in Data's Energy Data Explorer. Complete dataset available via https://github.com/owid/energy-data.

The complete Energy dataset is a collection of key metrics maintained by Our World in Data. It is updated regularly and includes data on energy consumption (primary energy, per capita, and growth rates), energy mix, electricity mix and other relevant metrics.

This data has been collected, aggregated, and documented by Hannah Ritchie, Pablo Rosado, Edouard Mathieu, Max Roser.

Our World in Data makes data and research on the world's largest problems understandable and accessible.
