(2) 'Substituted' primary energy, which converts non-fossil electricity into their 'input equivalents': The amount of primary energy that would be needed if they had the same inefficiencies as fossil fuels. This 'substitution method' is adopted by the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy, when all data is compared in exajoules.","dimensions":{"years":{"values":[{"id":1800},{"id":1810},{"id":1820},{"id":1830},{"id":1840},{"id":1850},{"id":1860},{"id":1870},{"id":1880},{"id":1890},{"id":1900},{"id":1910},{"id":1920},{"id":1930},{"id":1940},{"id":1950},{"id":1960},{"id":1965},{"id":1966},{"id":1967},{"id":1968},{"id":1969},{"id":1970},{"id":1971},{"id":1972},{"id":1973},{"id":1974},{"id":1975},{"id":1976},{"id":1977},{"id":1978},{"id":1979},{"id":1980},{"id":1981},{"id":1982},{"id":1983},{"id":1984},{"id":1985},{"id":1986},{"id":1987},{"id":1988},{"id":1989},{"id":1990},{"id":1991},{"id":1992},{"id":1993},{"id":1994},{"id":1995},{"id":1996},{"id":1997},{"id":1998},{"id":1999},{"id":2000},{"id":2001},{"id":2002},{"id":2003},{"id":2004},{"id":2005},{"id":2006},{"id":2007},{"id":2008},{"id":2009},{"id":2010},{"id":2011},{"id":2012},{"id":2013},{"id":2014},{"id":2015},{"id":2016},{"id":2017},{"id":2018},{"id":2019},{"id":2020},{"id":2021},{"id":2022},{"id":2023},{"id":2024}]},"entities":{"values":[{"id":355,"name":"World","code":"OWID_WRL"}]}},"origins":[{"id":7094,"title":"Energy Transitions: Global and National Perspectives","producer":"Smil","citationFull":"Energy Transitions: Global and National Perspectives, 2nd edition, Appendix A, Vaclav Smil (2017).","attributionShort":"Smil","urlMain":"https://vaclavsmil.com/book/energy-transitions-global-and-national-perspectives-second-expanded-and-updated-edition/","dateAccessed":"2023-12-12","datePublished":"2017-01-01","license":{"url":"https://vaclavsmil.com/book/energy-transitions-global-and-national-perspectives-second-expanded-and-updated-edition/","name":"CC BY 4.0"}}]}
