World energy intensity of GDP at purchasing parities from 2006 to 2009

'Energy Intensity on the World for 2011' Figures provided by Enerdata. Energy intensity is also provided by country on the interactive yearbook interface. You will only need to zoom in the country selected.

The following table displays the energy intensity in the world by koe/$05p (Kilogram oil equivalent per USD at constant exchange rate, price and purchasing power parities of the year 2005 ^[2] ), by region and by country. The energy intensity are published by Enerdata ^[3] and they are also available in the energy review for 2011. ^[4]

The energy intensity is the ratio of primary energy consumption over gross domestic product measured in constant US $ at purchasing power parities.

In 2009, energy intensity in OECD countries remained stable at 0.15 koe/$05p, with 0.12 koe/$05p in both the European Union and Japan and 0.17 koe/$05p in the USA. It remained particularly high in CIS (0.35 koe/$05p) as well as in Africa (0.25 koe/$05p) and Middle East (0.26 koe/$05p). In Asia, energy intensity reached 0.22 koe/$05p. On the opposite, Latin America posted a relatively low ratio of 0.14 koe/$05p.
