Word Energy Intensity of GDP at purchasing parities from 2006 to 2009

Following table displays the energy intensity in the world by koe$05p unit, by region and by country. The energy intensity are published by international Enerdata and they are also available in the recent statiscal energy review for 2010.

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

Kilogram oil equivalent

Kilogram of oil equivalent is a normalised unit of energy. By convention it is equivalent to the approximate amount of energy that can be extracted from one kilogram of crude oil...

, 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.
