Analysis
In 2023, pre- and post-production — energy use in Europe stood at 172,103 TJ. That is the lowest value across all 34 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.8% on the previous year and down 33.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Europe peaked at 1.07 million TJ in 1991 and was at its lowest, 172,103 TJ, in 2023.
That places Europe 6th out of 34 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain Emissions from Pre- and Post-Agricultural Production provides estimates of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and related activity data associated with pre- and post-production stages of agrifood systems. The domain includes methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), fluorinated gases (F-gases) and their aggregates expressed in carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq). Estimates are computed following Tier 1 methods of the IPCC Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014) and are disseminated annually.
