On Energy Security

Total primary energy supply (TPES) in 2009 reached 39.6 million tons of oil equivalent (MTOE), with the production of indigenous energy (oil, coal, natural gas, geothermal, hydro, wind, solar, biomass, coco-methyl ester [CME] and ethanol) increasing by 2.0 percent from levels of 2008. The country's self-sufficiency16 level thus increased from 56.7 percent in 2008 to 59.2 percent in 2009.

For 2009, oil accounted for the biggest share of 34.0 percent in the energy supply mix, followed by geothermal energy with its share of 22.4 percent. Coal contributed 15.3 percent, while biomass added 13.59 percent. The remaining shares in TPES were divided between natural gas, hydro, wind, ethanol and CME.

On the demand side, total final energy consumption (TFEC) will grow to 24.9 MTOE by 2013 and 27.7 MTOE by the end of 2016 from the 2009 demand level of 23.6 MTOE. TFEC for the period 2009-2016 is expected to grow annually at 2.3 percent on average.

The transport sector accounts for the highest share of the total demand, with an average of 36.5 percent in 2009, while the industry sector is projected to grow the fastest at an annual average growth rate (AAGR) of 5.1 percent as reflected in Table 5.6.
