Definition

Total primary energy consumed in the country in the year (coal, natural gas, petroleum and other liquids, nuclear, and renewable and other sources), in quadrillion British thermal units, as estimated by the U.S. Energy Information Administration in its International Energy Statistics.

Countries only. One quadrillion Btu is about 1.055 exajoules. EIA converts electricity from nuclear, hydro, wind and solar to primary energy with its own conventions, so totals can differ from IEA or Energy Institute figures. Some small economies show 0 in years EIA has no estimate.
