Energy Import Dependence by Country 2022
Key Findings
About This Dataset
Energy Import Dependence by Country 2022Malta tops the list at 389.6% of its energy use, followed by Singapore on 258.4% and Hong Kong on 175.7%. Figures above 100% are not errors: these territories import far more energy than they burn themselves, refining or passing the surplus onward, which is why Singapore, one of the world's largest oil refining hubs, sits so high despite having no oil of its own. Panama's 171.2% reflects its role as a shipping crossroads. The list is a catalogue of places with no domestic energy resources whatsoever, dominated by islands and city-states including Malta, Cyprus, Jamaica and Luxembourg. The Netherlands at 99.4% is the largest economy present, a striking change for a country that was once a major gas exporter.
