Footnotes:
a. One metric ton of oil equivalent (toe) is defined as 10 Exp. 7 kilocalories or 41.868 gigajoules, equal to the amount of energy contained in 1 metric ton of crude oil.
b. In metric tons of oil equivalent per million constant 1995 international dollars.
TPES = Energy Production + Imports - Exports - Stock Changes - Consumption by International Marine Bunkers
c. In metric tons of oil equivalent per million constant 1995 international dollars.
d. In this profile, "total final consumption" is calculated as the sum of energy consumption by sectors. Values may differ slightly from those reported by the International
Energy Agency (IEA).
