Figures for 2006, as EIA published them · stored as published, never rewritten

Energy intensity is how much energy a country uses to produce each dollar of its economic output, with GDP compared at purchasing power parities. It is the measure behind the UN goal to improve energy efficiency: a falling figure means an economy is getting more out of each unit of energy.
