Therefore, when data from Ember is available for a given country and year, we use it as the primary data source. Where Ember data is unavailable, we supplement it with data from EI.\n- The Statistical Review of World Energy only provides data on input-equivalent primary energy consumption, not on direct primary energy consumption.
