Analysis
The most recent figure for energy use (pre- and post-production) — energy use in Australia is 15,938 TJ, measured in 2023. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 26.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, energy use (pre- and post-production) — energy use in Australia peaked at 35,813 TJ in 1997 and was at its lowest, 15,938 TJ, in 2022.
That places Australia 16th out of 118 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently falling across the 34 years of available data.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions from Pre- and post- agricultural production includes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and related activity data, generated from pre- and post-agriculture production stages of the agri-food systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) and CO2 equivalent (CO2eq) emissions from the above activities as well as the aggregate fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions. Estimates are available by country, with global coverage and are updated annually.The FAOSTAT domain disseminates information estimates of CH4, N2O, CO2 emissions, F-gases, their aggregates in CO2eq in units of kilotonnes (kt, or 10^6 kg), and the underlying activity data. CO2eq emissions are computed by using the IPCC Fifth Assessment report global warming potentials, AR5 (IPCC, 2014). Data are available for most countries and territories, for standard FAOSTAT regional aggregations, and for Annex I and non-Annex I country groups.
