A terajoule is one trillion joules; 1000 terajoules are equivalent to one petrajoule. MT refers to metric tons.
"Solid fuels" include bituminous coal, oil shale, and peat. "Liquid fuels" include crude petroleum and liquid natural gas.
"Gas" includes natural gas and other petroleum gases.
Electricity production data generally refer to gross production, except for Dominican Rep., Mexico, and the United States.
Net production is 5-10 percent less than gross.
Fuelwood, charcoal, bagasse, animal and vegetable wastes, and solar energy are excluded from production figures.
