About this ranking

Total primary energy produced in the country in the year (coal, natural gas, crude oil 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. Production above consumption marks a net energy exporter, such as Saudi Arabia or Canada. Countries without domestic energy sources show 0.

Every value in the ranking comes from the same publisher and the same period, so the countries are compared on one definition. Equal values share a rank.
