### Overview  
  
This dataset shows the total primary energy consumption in 230 countries from 1980 to 2019. Primary energy is energy that comes directly from nature and has not been converted to a different form. This dataset is published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). EIA defines primary energy consumption to include coal, petroleum, dry natural gas, nuclear electricity, hydroelectricity geothermal, solar, wind, wood, biomass, and [other sources](https://www.eia.gov/tools/glossary/index.php?id=Primary%20energy%20consumption).
  
  

Energy consumption is a key indicator of the environmental impact and input costs of economic activity. The intensity of energy consumption and the sources of energy are among the key indicators of sustainable energy, as defined by Sustainable Development Goal 7.
  
  
### Methodology  
  
EIA collected and analyzed consumption data from multiple external sources. The estimates in this dataset are based on a time series analysis, and the performance of the model was evaluated with hold‐out validation.
