In 2021, Brazil's final energy consumption amounted to 0.84 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per million U.S. dollars of GDP. This represents a small decrease compared to previous year. In 2019, figures reached the lowest energy intensity reported in the South American country since 2013, despite an overall upward trend throughout the past decade.

Supplementary notes
According to the source, the energy intensity of GDP shows the relation between the total amount of energy consumed and the GDP of a country. A low ratio indicates that less energy is used to produce a unit of product and as this ratio increases, the amount of energy required to produce a monetary unit of economic production increases.
