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.
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).
Fossil energy is based on net calorific value.
Renewable energy is biomass based on net calorific value, and electric energy produced by hydro power, wind turbines and solar panels.
Nuclear energy is heat produced by nuclear reactions, about 3 times the electric energy.
The data are of 2012.[1]
