International Energy Agency Renewables Information, 1990-2007

The International Energy Agency (IEA) datasets published by the Energy Statistics Division (ESD) contain annual and quarterly time series data from 1960 onwards on energy production, trade, stocks, transformation, consumption, prices and taxes as well as on greenhouse gas emissions for over the 30 OECD Member countries and over 100 non-OECD countries world-wide. In OECD Member countries the data are collected by official bodies (most often the national statistics office in each country) from firms, government agencies and industry organisations and are then reported to the IEA using questionnaires to ensure international comparability. In non-OECD countries the data are collected directly from government and industry contacts and from national publications. The International Energy Agency (IEA) Renewables Information database contains complete time series of renewables and wastes statistics corresponding to the data shown in Part II of the annual IEA publication Renewables Information. A table from Part I of the publication showing selected renewables indicators for Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and non-OECD countries is also included. Data are based on submissions from national administrations to the Secretariat. The database contains time series of annual renewables and wastes data for OECD countries from 1990 onwards. This database is updated by the IEA in August each year. These data were first provided by ESDS International in June 2005 and are updated annually. The ESDS International web site includes further information on its IEA Renewables Information holdings, including a database description and details of latest database updates.
