Only commercially-traded energy sources are included (traditional biomass, which Smil reports but the Statistical Review does not, is excluded so the series stays on a single basis with no step at the splice).","type":"float","datasetName":"Energy mix","updatePeriodDays":365,"datasetVersion":"2026-06-30","nonRedistributable":false,"display":{"name":"Traditional biomass","unit":"%","shortUnit":"%"},"schemaVersion":2,"processingLevel":"major","presentation":{"titlePublic":"Traditional biomass as a share of primary energy (including traditional biomass)","topicTagsLinks":["Energy"]},"descriptionKey":"- Traditional biomass is fuelwood, charcoal, crop residues and dung.\n- Total energy supply covers only commercially-traded fuels, so shares on this chart are measured against total energy supply plus traditional biomass.\n- Traditional biomass is only available at the global level.","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},{"id":2025}]},"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"}},{"id":20497,"titleSnapshot":"Statistical Review of World Energy - Consolidated dataset narrow format","title":"Statistical Review of World Energy","description":"The Energy Institute Statistical Review of World Energy analyses data on world energy markets from the prior year.","producer":"Energy Institute","citationFull":"Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy (2026).","attribution":"Energy Institute - Statistical Review of World Energy (2026)","attributionShort":"Energy Institute","urlMain":"https://www.energyinst.org/statistical-review/","dateAccessed":"2026-07-02","datePublished":"2026-06-30","license":{"url":"https://www.energyinst.org/terms","name":"© Energy Institute 2026"}},{"id":14452,"title":"International Energy Data","producer":"U.S. Energy Information Administration","citationFull":"U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) - International Energy Data (2026).","attributionShort":"EIA","urlMain":"https://www.eia.gov/opendata/bulkfiles.php","urlDownload":"https://api.eia.gov/bulk/INTL.zip","dateAccessed":"2026-05-05","datePublished":"2026-05-05","license":{"url":"https://www.eia.gov/about/copyrights_reuse.php","name":"Public domain"}}]}
