Definition and concepts

Definition:
Energy intensity is defined as the energy supplied to the economy per unit value of economic output.

Concepts:
Total energy supply, as defined by the International Recommendations for Energy Statistics (IRES), is
made up of production plus net imports minus international marine and aviation bunkers plus-stock changes.

Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the measure of economic output. For international comparison purposes, GDP is measured in constant terms at purchasing power parity.
Unit of measure

Rationale

Energy intensity is an indication of how much energy is used to produce one unit of economic output. It is an inverse proxy of the efficiency with which an economy is able to use energy to produce economic output. A lower ratio indicates that less energy is used to produce one unit of output, so decreasing
trends indicate progress.
