Direct Energy Consumption from Fossil Fuels

Study title: Fuel and Energy Balances

The purpose of the study is to provide necessary information for monitoring the situation in terms of energy security and environmental protection, energy carrier price levels, assessing the energy intensity of the economy, increasing the efficiency of fuel and energy use and enabling the development of forecasts for energy carrier demand, energy policy assumptions, inventory of atmospheric pollution emissions from energy and transport sources, providing data for the system of integrated environmental economic accounts and developing the country's fuel and energy balances.

Direct consumption

The amount of energy carriers consumed in end receivers without further processing into other energy carriers. This consumption also includes energy carriers consumed for energy transformation needs, non-energy use, and natural losses among receivers.

1. We collect data directly from official government sources, most often via an API provided by the relevant statistical office. For this purpose, we use proprietary algorithms that retrieve and aggregate all information into our database.
2. We standardize and clean the data for better analysis and readability. We remove unnecessary elements and adjust the structure to a unified format, which ensures consistency between different data sets. This enables visual interpretation of statistics as well as comparative analysis — both by humans and analytical systems (including artificial intelligence).
3. We verify the information and design an interactive chart. We aim to make the information transparent and easy to understand, so we start with a presentation of general indicators that serve as a starting point for deeper data exploration. The user can then dive into the details using interactive chart features. We do not interfere with the content or meaning of the data — our role is solely to organize and facilitate access to the information.
4. We create metadata and translate the chart into other languages. Each chart is supplemented with sources, survey details, and other information provided by the data supplier. We also use our own AI models to generate a short summary of the chart. Finally, we translate the content and publish the charts on 47 international Content Writer websites to share valuable information with the world.
5. We regularly update and expand the data. Our scripts "listen" to data providers’ websites and retrieve the latest information as soon as updates appear. We then recreate the chart summary to reflect recent changes. The update is published, and interested users are informed about the current trend.

The data is processed by Content Writer — a limited liability company based in Poland — as part of the independent WorldIndex project. The initiative’s goal is to provide free access to current public data for analyzing trends and better understanding the world.

We also offer commercial access to the WorldIndex API, which provides direct access to data via an API. This allows companies, organizations, and individual users to integrate a real-time information stream into their applications, analytical systems, or AI models.

Data provider: Statistical Office in Rzeszow.

The presented information comes from the Domain Knowledge Bases (DBW), maintained by the Polish Central Statistical Office (GUS) and made available under the CC BY 4.0 license.

The chart retrieves data in real time from the DBW API to ensure the most up-to-date and reliable information possible.
