The APEC Energy Statistics 2020 was derived from the APEC energy database, the purpose of which is to establish a comprehensive and consistent energy database within the APEC region. This database is used in analyzing significant trends in energy supply and demand in APEC. The APEC data are likewise consistent with the definitions and targets set by the APEC Energy Working Group, such as the energy intensity goal and shares of renewable energy in total primary energy supply, electricity generation and total final energy consumption. The APEC data and statistics are prepared in close cooperation with member economies.
