* Traditional fuels include estimates of the consumption of fuelwood, charcoal, bagasse, and animal and vegetal wastes.
Note: A petajoule is 1 quadrillion joules and is equivalent to 163,400 "UN standard" barrels of oil or 34,140 "UN standard" metric tons of coal.
A gigajoule is 1 billion joules. Also note that negative imports mean the countries are net exporters.
