TOTAL FINAL CONSUMPTION201518 Mtoe
The largest final energy consuming sector is industry, followed by residential.
The heat and electricity consumed by households is currently produced mostly from natural gas.
The transport sector is by far the final largest consum-er of oil products in the country. Since 2000 the larg-est increase in energy demand has come from the transport sector (an increase of 1.3 Mtoe).

Production
Consumption (TPES)
Despite having the world’s third-largest produc-tion of peat and small amounts of crude oil and natural gas production, less than 15% of the country’s energy demand is covered by domestic production.
This makes Belarus one of the least energy self-sufficient countries in the world.
Belarus depends heavily on imports for all types of fossil fuels.
In 2016, Belarus was the world’s thirteen-largest importer of natural gas with net imports of 18.6 billion cubic metres (15 Mtoe). Belarus imports even larger quantities of crude oil but most of it is re-exported in the form of oil products.
