2.3 Total primary energy requirement
Total primary energy requirement is obtained as the sum of imported fossil fuels and locally
available fuels less re-exports and bunkering, after adjusting for stock changes.
In 2023, total primary energy requirement was 1,537,622 toe, comprising 63.9% of petroleum
products, 26.3% of coal and 9.8% of renewables. Compared to 2022, there was an increase of
3.5 % from 1,484,976 toe (Table 4).
Consequently, this led to an increase of 3.4% in the per capita primary energy requirement
from 1.18 toe in 2022 to 1.22 toe in 2023.
2.3.1 Primary energy requirement from fossil fuel
In 2023, out of 1,537,622 toe of the total primary energy requirement, 90.2% was met from
imported fuels (mainly, fossil fuels) and 9.8% from local sources.

The share of the different fossil fuels within the total primary energy requirement in 2023 was
as follows: coal (26.3%), fuel oil (22.0%), diesel oil (14.7%), gasolene (14.2%) and Liquefied
Petroleum Gas (LPG) (6.4%) and dual-purpose kerosene (6.6%).
From 2022 to 2023, energy supply from petroleum products increased by 0.7% from
976,184 toe to 982,955 toe and the supply of coal increased by 12.4% from 359,310 toe to
403,780 toe (Table 4).
2.3.2 Primary energy requirement from renewables
In 2023, primary energy requirement obtained from renewable energy sources accounted for
9.8% (150,888 toe) of the total primary energy requirement, and constituted of hydro, wind,
