International Energy Agency Natural Gas Information, 1960-2020

The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual and quarterly time-series data from 1960 onwards on energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for the OECD member countries and non-OECD countries worldwide.<br> <br> In OECD member countries the data are collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries, the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications.<br> <br> The <i>International Energy Agency (IEA) Natural Gas Information</i> database contains time-series of annual gas supply balances for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries from 1960 onwards. World statistics include data on production, total imports and exports and gross inland consumption. For the OECD countries, more detailed information on supply and consumption by sector, and trade by origin and destination is available. This database is updated by the IEA once each year with a preliminary release for select countries releasing earlier in the year.<br> <br> These data were first provided by the UK Data Service in June 2005 and are updated semi-annually.<br>
