Consumption (TPES) 15 15 This makes Belarus one of the least energy self-sufficient countries in the world. 10 Imports Belarus depends heavily on imports for all types of fossil fuels. th 5 In 2016, Belarus was the world’s thirteen-largest 13 importer of natural gas with net imports of 18.6 billion cubic metres (15 Mtoe). Belarus imports even larger quantities of crude oil but most of it 0 is re-exported in the form of oil products. Natural Oil Biofuels Coal Gas and waste
TRANSFORMATION
Electricity generation
Nearly all electricity production comes from natural gas (33 TWh, 98% in 2015). This is projected to % change with the ongoing construction of two nuclear 98 recators (1 200 megawatts each).
With a production of 23 million tonnes of oil rd products Belarus is key regional refiner 34 (34th largest refiner in the world in 2015) in 2015
TOTAL FINAL CONSUMPTION 2015 DID YOU KNOW? 18 Mtoe The largest final energy consuming sector is industry, followed by residential.
Transport The heat and electricity consumed by households is currently produced mostly from natural gas.
Residen�al The transport sector is by far the final largest consum- er of oil products in the country. Since 2000 the larg- est increase in energy demand has come from the Industry transport sector (an increase of 1.3 Mtoe).
