title: IEA World Energy Balances

description: The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual and quarterly time series data from 1960 onwards on energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for over the 30 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Member countries and over 100 non-OECD countries worldwide.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In OECD Member countries the data are collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The IEA World Energy Balances is a compilation of the data in the following two databases: &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Energy Balances of OECD Countries:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This database contains energy balances for 30 OECD countries and six regions. Detailed energy balances are provided in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Definitions of products and flows, explanatory notes on the individual country data, indicators (including GDP, population, industrial production index and ratios calculated with the energy data) and net calorific values are also included. In general, data are available from 1960. This database is updated by the IEA in May each year.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Energy Balances of Non-OECD Countries:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;
This database contains energy balances for over 100 non-OECD countries and 11 regions. Detailed energy balances are provided in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). Definitions of products and flows, explanatory notes on the individual country data, indicators (including GDP, population and ratios calculated with the energy data) and net calorific values are also included. In general, data are available from 1971. This database is updated by the IEA at the beginning of September each year.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
This database was first made available by the UK Data Service in August 2009 and is updated annually. The UK Data Service web site includes further information on its IEA World Energy Balances database, including a &lt;a href="http://ukdataservice.ac.uk//use-data/guides/dataset/iea.aspx" title ="IEA World Energy Balances dataset user guide"&gt;dataset user guide&lt;/a&gt; and details of &lt;a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.5257/iea/web/2014" title="IEA World Energy Balances latest database updates"&gt;latest database updates&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;
