This study presents data on the production, imports, exports, and apparent consumption of energy in each of the four years 1970--1973 for approximately 195 countries with a combined population of 3,818 million persons in 1973. It continues and updates where necessary the statistical series previously shown in World Energy Supplies, 1969--1972 and 1961--1970. Preliminary data on the production of primary fossil fuels are presented for 1974, to supplement similar series in the Monthly Bulletin of Statistics. Because of the lack of reliable information on non-commercial fuels, such as firewood and vegetal fuels, the data refer only to coal (including lignite) and coke, petroleum and its products, natural and manufactured gas, and electricity. Data for each type of fuel and summary tables for all fuels together are shown for individual countries and territories and are aggregated into regional and world totals. Where peat is important, it also is included. The data are, in general, taken from annual questionnaires, supplemented by national statistical publications. The data on production refer to the first stage of production. To avoid double counting, the summary data, shown in units of coal equivalent, are based on the production of coal and lignite, crude petroleum, natural gas and hydro, nuclear and geothermal electricity which are the so-called primary sources of energy; the secondary sources of energy (cokes, briquettes, refined oil fuels, manufactured gas, and thermal electricity) do not enter this calculation.
