'''World primary energy production''' is the world-wide production of primary energy from fossil, nuclear and renewable sources. Primary means: extracted or captured directly from natural sources.
See [[World energy supply]].
 
The table lists the top 16 countries producing about 70% of what all more than 190 countries yield. The amounts are given in million tonnes of oil equivalent per year (Mtoe/a, 1 Mtoe = 11.63 TWh). The data are of 2012.<ref>[http://www.iea.org/statistics/statisticssearch/ IEA Statistics search, Balances]</ref>
 
Primary energy assesment.<ref>[https://www.iea.org/publications/freepublications/publication/statistics_manual.pdf IEA Statistics manual, chapter 7 ]</ref>
* Fossil: based on net calorific value.
* Nuclear: heat produced by nuclear reactions, 3 times the electric energy, based on 33% efficiency of nuclear plants.
* Renewable: biomass based on net calorific value. Electric energy produced by hydro power, wind turbines and solar panels.<ref>Water and air flow energy that drives hydro and wind turbines, and sunlight that powers solar panels, are not taken as primary in energy statistics.</ref> Geothermal heat used in power plants is set at 10 times the electric energy, assuming 10% efficiency.
