Annual Report
Arab countries accounted for 0.7% of total world hydroelectricity
consumption in 2011, while the emerging economies accounted for
52.6%, the OECD countries for 39.8%, and the FSU countries for 6.9%.
1-2-4 Coal
Coal resources are only found in a small number ofArab countries,
namely, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon, and Morocco. Even in these four
countries, coal makes a limited contribution to the energy mix in
2012, with an estimated total consumption of about 98,000 boe/d of
which 25,000 boe/d in OAPEC member countries. Its share of total
Arab energy consumption remained unchanged at the level of 0.7%.
Arab countries accounted for 0.1% of world coal consumption in
2011, while the emerging economies accounted for 65.8%, OECD
countries’ share was 29.5%, and the FSU countries with 4.6% share.

2-1 Total and Per Capita Energy Consumption
It is estimated that energy consumption in OAPEC member
countries will rise at a rate of 5.3% in 2012 to reach 12.3 million
boe/d. There is a disparity with regard to growth rates in energy
consumption, preliminary estimates indicate consumption in Syria
shrinking at a rate of 0.25%, dropping slightly from 433 thousand
boe/d in 2011 to 432 thousand boe/d in 2012. Energy consumption in
Tunisia remained at the same level of 2011, 175 thousand boe/d. In
Bahrain, consumption has increased at a modest rate of 0.9% to reach
216 thousand boe/d. These low rates were as a result of developments
that have affected the economic situation in these countries and in
turn on energy consumption.
