Energy use per capita
Tier A· OfficialDescriptiveTotal primary energy used per person. Descriptive — high use reflects both development and climate cost.
100 = highest energy use per capita, 0 = lowest — descriptive, not better or worse
Mixed reference years (2007–2024). This metric uses each country's most recent available year, so countries are not all measured in the same year — cross-country comparison is weakened. Each row shows its own reference year.
How this score is built
Primary energy use per capita, in kg of oil equivalent — World Bank indicator EG.USE.PCAP.KG.OE (IEA). Descriptive: high energy use reflects both a higher standard of living *and* a higher climate footprint — neither simply good nor bad — so it uses a neutral colour and is off the radar. Use spans two orders of magnitude, so we normalize on a log scale. The raw figure is shown. Reference year varies by country (this series is not updated for every recent year).
