Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsIn the two previous parts, we conducted a preliminary selection of countries in the world based on their level of energy independence. Based on the analysis of criteria such as the ratio of primary energy production and consumption, the level of oil and oil products production and consumption, the level of electrification, net electricity imports, the following...

Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsWe continue our research dedicated to identifying energy-independent countries of the world. In this part, we will evaluate the main indicators related to electricity, including the level of electrification, the ratio of electricity exports and imports, and specific electricity consumption. As for the consumption of coal and natural gas, we will consider these...

Aenert news. Energy Market & Energy StatisticsThe desire for energy independence has always been inherent to some degree or another in individual countries and regions. This phenomenon became increasingly pronounced during the industrial revolution and reached its peak in the first half of the last century. The world wars that occurred during this period were largely due to the uneven distribution of energy...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructure2024 Statistical Review of World Energy™ by The Energy Institute (EI) presents data on the world's energy markets for 2023. Overall, 2023 can safely be called a year of records. First of all, global primary energy consumption reached a new record for the second year in a row, and global oil and coal production reached the highest level in history. This also applies...

Aenert news. Energy resources and infrastructureThe 2024 edition of the World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report reveals that the world came back to the high levels of gas flaring last seen in 2019. Global gas flaring at upstream oil and gas facilities increased by 7%, from 139 bcm in 2022 to 148 bcm in 2023. This shows that the global efforts to reduce gas flaring have not been successful and rapid action...
