Australasia has the greatest share of non-renewable energy reserves in the world. As of 2022, more than one fourth of all proved non-renewable reserves were found in this region. By comparison, Europe only held 3.7 percent of such reserves despite being a large consumer market.
Distribution of non-renewable energy reserves in 2010 and 2022, by region
This statistic was assembled using several editions of the report.
Percentage points may exceed 100 percent due to rounding.
The figures are based upon existing energy reserves, which are listed in exajoule (EJ) by the source.
The source distinguishes between "reserves" and "resources" as follows: Reserves: Quantities of energy sources which were accurately recorded and can be commercially extracted using current technologies. Resources: Quantities of energy sources which are either proved but currently not commercially recoverable or expected (on the basis of geological
indicators) and can be verified by exploration.
* The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, and Uzbekistan.
