| 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). | ||||
