| '''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]]. |
| | |
| Energy sources are usually classified as
| |
| * [[Fossil fuel|fossil]], using coal, lignite, petroleum and natural gas,
| |
| * [[Nuclear power|nuclear]], using [[uranium]],
| |
| * [[Renewable energy|renewable]], using [[hydro power]], [[biomass]], [[Wind power|wind]] and [[solar energy]], among others.
| |
| | |
| The table lists the top 16 countries producing about 70% of the total of all more than 190 countries.
| |
| These 16 with the 28 countries of the EU produce 78%.
| |
| 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>

| |
| * 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.
