The New report by Global Energy Monitor (GEM) is the first estimate of global coal mine methane emissions at the asset level. The key findings of the report are: - The world's coal mines emit more annually than gas or oil production. Emissions from oil are 39 million tons annually, from gas – 45 million tons, and from coal – 52.3 million tons. There are also several coal mine projects which are being developed, and if they go ahead,...

Eurostat provided an Overview of energy statistics in the European Union (EU) in 2020, presenting trends in major energy commodities for primary energy production, imports and exports, gross energy available and final energy consumption. Overall, the published statistics show that in 2020, gross available energy in the European Union declined by 8.1% compared to 2019. In the figure below, the gross available energy by fuel in the...

The Annual Energy Outlook 2022 (AEO2022) presented by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) examines long-term energy trends in the United States. Based on the Reference case that serves as a comparison between alternative trends, AEO2022 presents modeled projections and assumptions about future energy production, demand, and prices in the country from 2020 to 2050. In general, EIA concluded that energy consumption will increase...

The Statistical Office of the European Union presented an overview of oil statistics for the 27 EU member states and several European countries outside the Union. The statistical overview covers crude oil as well as petroleum products for the period from 1990 to 2020. This data is important in the context that petroleum products play a huge role, accounting for the largest share of gross domestic energy consumption in the EU. Overall,...

The European Statistical Office Eurostat presented data on primary energy production and imports in the EU in 2020, comparing them with the developments observed in the period between 2010 and 2020. In general, the published data demonstrate the EU's growing dependence on energy imports from non-member countries. Thus, in 2020, almost 60% of the EU's gross available energy came from imported sources. From 2010 to 2020, there was a...
