Energy is central to theachievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on The information in this publication is primarily based on the energy data collection carriedout by the Energy Statistics Section of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). Thedata are available in the 2022 editions of the Energy Statistics Yearbook, the EnergyBalances and the Electricity Profiles, three annual UNSD publications that present energy The present publication aims to synthesize this information by highlighting key indicatorsand using different visualizations to show developments, dependencies and distributions in More information about the data collection process, as well as the other three annualpublications sourced from the same database as this pocketbook, are available at Acknowledgements This publication has been compiled by the Energy Statistics Section of UNSD, which isheaded by Leonardo Rocha Souza. The conceptual design of this pocketbook has beencarried out by Leonardo Rocha Souza, Agnieszka Koscielniak and Costanza Giovannelli.Costanza Giovannelli took the lead in the graphic design, supported by Graham Osborn andPeng Guo, while Jessica Ying Chan contributed to the preparation of the supporting text of Enquiries, comments and suggestions for improving this publication are welcome andshould be addressed to: energy_stat@un.org. Total energy supply FACTS AND FIGURES World total energy supply1(TES) was 619.2 EJ in 2022, increasing by 1.7% compared to 2021. The increase affected all regions but Oceania and Europe, and was most intense in Asia (+4.0%) and Northern America(+1.7%). In China alone, TES increased 7.0 EJ (+4.7%) between 2021 and 2022.The Asian share of TES was more than half of the world total in 2022 (52.6%) with China accounting for morethan a quarter of the world TES (25.1%). While 2021 saw a brief resurgence of Europe’s TES, increasing by 7.4% International bunkers were equal to 14.3 EJ in 2022 (corresponding to 2.3% of world TES), showing asubstantial increase compared to 2021 (+10.8%) but remaining well below the levels reached before the 2.
