The present study provides data for the 25-year period 1950 to 1974, covering the principal elements of production, import, export, bunkers, stock change, and apparent consumption of commercial energy for 202 countries and areas with a combined population of 3890 million people in 1974. It updates and enlarges upon the statistical series shown in previous volumes of World Energy Supplies on a consistent and internally comparable time series. Preliminary data on the production of primary fossil fuels (hard coal, lignite and brown coal, peat for fuel, crude petroleum, natural gas liquids, and natural gas) are presented for 1975. By virtue of the paucity of reliable or detailed information on non-commercial fuels, the data treat only commercial forms of energy supply. Data for each type of fuel and aggregate data for the total mix of fuels are shown for individual countries and territories, as well as being summarized into regional and world totals. The data are primarily compiled from annual questionnaires distributed by the Statistical Office of the United Nations, supplemented by official national statistical publications. The principal objective of the series is to provide a global framework of comparable data on long-term trends and recent developments in the supply of all commercial forms of energy, as a basis for the examination of the characteristics of energy supply and demand. Data are provided on both primary and secondary forms of energy in the interests of as comprehensive coverage as possible of the total availability of energy commodities.
