World gas and petrol consumption

World gas and petrol consumption refers to the consumption by mankind of natural gas and refined petroleum products. These are mainly used for heating and transport.

More precise, refined petroleum products are mainly, about 80%, motor fuels (gasoline, diesel, LPG, kerosene, naphtha, etc), but also non-fuels (lubrication oil, asphalt, etc.).

The table lists the top .. consuming countries, which use .. 90% of the consumption of all more than 190 countries. The amounts of Gas and Petrol are given in 109 cubic meter per year and 106 barrel per day.[1][2] Total consumption is given in the common unit TWh/a (Terawatt-hours per year, 1 TWh = 109 kWh). The data are of 2012-2013. The last column contains the number of millions of inhabitants.

Total equals 10.6 x gas + 520 x petrol. The conversion factors 10.6 and 520 are based on 38 MWh/m3 gas and 1.4 MWh/bbl petrol. These are average values; the caloric value of natural gas and petrol differ per country and kind of petrol.
