Chapter: Refinery output
Refinery output refers to total refinery output as reported. Note that this number is
different from the one found in the energy balance, column Oil products and row
Oil refineries. This is due to the principles of constructing balances, where what
appears in the transformation block is the net output (output minus input). Since
refinery feedstocks are not considered primary oil, they enter as input in the same
cell as the output of all oil products and end up causing this difference.
Refinery input refers to the amount of oil (conventional crude oil, natural gas liquids,
feedstocks, other hydrocarbons, and additives and oxygenates) that has entered
the refinery process.
Refinery capacity is the theoretical maximum capacity of crude oil refineries
available for operation at the end of the reference year.
The category others (chart 62 and table 63) refers to refinery gas, ethane, LPG,
white spirit and SBP industrial spirits, lubricants, paraffin waxes, petroleum coke,
bitumen, refinery feedstocks, and other oil products not elsewhere classified. The
category gasolines refers to aviation gasoline, motor gasoline and gasoline-type jet
fuel; the category kerosenes refers to kerosene-type jet fuel and other kerosene.
Fuel quantities used in international aviation and marine bunkers are included in the
world oil supply (chart 66 and table 67); conversely, bunkers are excluded from the
oil supply for the shown countries.
The different approach adopted in treating international bunkers at the world level
as opposed to the country level determines a divergence between the world oil
supply and the sum of the country values in table 67.
Chapter: Total final consumption
Total final consumption per capita is calculated by dividing total final consumption
by population.
Total final consumption refers to the consumption of energy products by end users,
which is the last stage of energy flows captured in energy statistics. As such, TFC
excludes energy products that are transformed into secondary energy products.
For example, fuels used for electricity generation are not accounted directly in TFC,
but accounted for indirectly as final electricity consumption. For coal specifically,
more than half of TES is used as input for electricity generation worldwide.
International aviation and marine bunkers are classified as part of final consumption
at the world level but not at the country and regional levels. Not being included in
the total final consumption at the regional level, international bunkers are shown as
