Data room
The EU’s energy landscape is always changing. Stay up to date with IOGP Europe’s interactive data room.
From its energy mix to supply partners, we have you covered with the latest available numbers.
Energy Mix in Other Regions
At 63.8%, oil and gas represent a larger share of Europe’s energy mix than the global average of 58.7%.
EU Energy Mix Evolution
Oil and gas accounted for 56% of EU’s energy mix in 1990, rising slightly to 58% in 2024.
EU Power Mix Evolution
The share of coal in power generation has fallen by more than two-thirds since 2000.
EU Monthly Power Mix
Natural gas contributes between 12% and 20% of monthly power generation, supporting flexibility and stability in the electricity grid.
Monthly Natural Gas Consumption
Natural gas consumption more than doubles during winter months, driven primarily by heating needs.
Breakdown of Natural Gas Consumption
Industrial natural gas consumption has decreased by 17% since 2021.
Crude Oil Consumption
The barrel is used as the standard unit in the oil industry due to its historical adoption in early oil trade, with one barrel corresponding to 42 US gallons, or approximately 159 liters.
Liquid Transport Fuel Consumption
COVID-19 made 2020 the largest single-year decline in transport fuel consumption on record.
Non-Transport Energy Oil Product
Fuel oil consumption in the EU fell by more than 90% as heating shifted to cleaner and more efficient natural gas.
European Natural Gas Reserves and Resources
Reserves refer to commercially recoverable volumes, while resources refer to all in-place volumes identified by geological assessment
Domestic Natural Gas Production
Historically, the Netherlands was the EU-27’s largest gas producer; in 2024, it was overtaken for the first time by Romania.
Domestic Natural Gas Production Small Scale Producers
Irish gas production jumped in 2016 following the start-up and ramp-up of the Corrib offshore gas field.
European Oil Reserves and Resources
Reserves refer to commercially recoverable volumes, while resources refer to all in-place volumes identified by geological assessment
Domestic Crude Oil Production
The Dan Field is a cornerstone of Denmark’s oil output, helping make the country the EU’s largest oil producer throughout the 2000s and the 2010s.
Domestic Crude Oil Production Small Scale Producers
In 1999, Greek oil production collapsed after operations at the Prinos field were suspended; output later resumed, with depleted reservoirs now repurposed for CO₂ storage.
Import Dependency
The EU-27 has always relied on imported oil, but once produced almost 50% of its natural gas domestically.
Historical Natural Gas Imports
Since 2022, the EU has been moving away from reliance on gas imports from Russia, supported by established pipeline suppliers and rising LNG imports.
Natural Gas Imports since 2019
Russian gas imports have been reduced by 82% from their 2019 peak and by 76% compared with 2021.
