Analysis
In 2023, pre- and post-production — energy use in Europe stood at 2.77 million TJ.
The figure is down 0.9% on the previous year and down 1.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, pre- and post-production — energy use in Europe peaked at 2.84 million TJ in 2021 and was at its lowest, 1.12 million TJ, in 1990.
That places Europe 7th out of 34 groups with data for 2023, putting it in the top quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 34 years of available data.

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.
