How this figure is calculated
Primary energy use divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Primary energy use ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Primary energy use Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy (2026); Smil (2017); U.S. Energy Information Administration (2026) – with major processing by Our World in Data
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
