Methodology
The primary energy values of nuclear and hydroelectric generation, as well as electricity from renewable sources, have been derived by calculating
the equivalent amount of fossil fuel required to generate the same volume of electricity in a thermal power station, assuming a conversion efficiency of 38% (the average for OECD thermal power generation)
Fuels used as inputs for conversion technologies (gas-to-liquids, coal-to-liquids, and coal to gas) are counted as production for the source fuel and the outputs are counted as consumption for the converted fuel are counted as consumption for the converted fuel."
         Percentages:  Calculated before rounding of actuals. 
        Rounding differences:  Because of rounding, some totals may not agree exactly with the sum of their component parts. 
       Tonnes:  Metric equivalent of tons
