With its Energy Data publication, the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) presents data and facts on the worldwide availability, production, import and export of energy sources. These include data on fossil and renewable energy sources. In the future, the BGR Energy Study will be published in text and table form every other year. The data tables, on the other hand, will continue to be published annually, and offered for download free of charge. The published data sets on the situation of renewable energy sources including deep geothermal energy, plus energy sources such as crude oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear fuels as of the end of 2018 are a classified and evaluated extract of the BGR energy sources database. In addition to estimating the geological inventory of energy sources with reliable statements on reserves and resources, the energy markets are examined with regard to the global development of production, export, import and consumption. Our Energy Data are meant to advise the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection (BMWK), German industry and science, and the general public on aspects of natural resource management.
