Israel Total Energy Production & Consumption
Israel's consumption per capita is 2.5 toe (i.e., 20% less than the Middle East average), including around 6 500 kWh of electricity (65% above the regional average) (2023).
Primary energy consumption has remained largely stable since 2021 (around 24 Mtoe), after rising from 2019 to 2021 (2.2%/year). Between 2015 and 2019, consumption was quite stable at around 22 Mtoe.
The total energy consumption per unit of GDP is decreasing very rapidly (around -3.7%/year since 2010), driven by the shift from coal to gas and solar in power generation.

Israel Oil Production & Consumption
Oil production is limited (187 kt). Crude oil imports were relatively stable (around 11 Mt) between 2010 and 2022 (10.9 Mt).
The country has 2 refineries: Haifa (196 kb/d) and Ashdod (100 kb/d). Oil Refineries commissioned a new hydrocracking unit of 25 kb/d at its Haifa refinery in 2013 to produce cooking gas, naphtha, kerosene, and high-quality diesel.

Israel Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Production has accelerated since 2019 and has nearly tripled, reaching 25 bcm in 2023. It increased very rapidly in 2019 from around 3 bcm in 2010 to 8.8 bcm (+12%/year on average). Israel has 3 operational offshore gas fields, the main one is Leviathan with reserves of 600 bcm (condensate reserves are estimated to be 39 mbl), which started production end of 2019, followed by Tamar (200 bcm, 2013).

Israel Renewable in % Electricity Production
In 2022, the Ministry of Environment released a new renewable energy roadmap, targeting 20% of renewables in the country's power mix by 2025 and 40% by 2030. To reach the new objective, Israel would have to instal between 18 GW and 23 GW of solar capacity along with 5.5 GW / 33 GWh of storage capacity. The total potential for solar PV installations is estimated at 26 GW, including 24 GW on building roofs and facades and 2 GW over agricultural crops.

Israel GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its updated NDC (2021), Israel increased its emissions reduction target to 27% compared to 2015 (previously 26%), including -30% in the power sector and in industry; this corresponds to total emissions of 58 MtCO2eq in 2030. The country also committed to cut emissions by at least 85% by 2050 (compared to 2015) to up to 12 MtCO2eq. According to the Ministry of Environmental Protection (2023), Israel is off track to reach its 2030 emission target, with an estimated 12% GHG cut by 2030.
