Total Energy Consumption
Israel's consumption per capita is 2.3 toe (including around 6 574 kWh of electricity) (2021).
Between 2015 and 2019, consumption was quite stable at around 22 Mtoe; it decreased by 3% in 2020 to around 21 Mtoe and remained stable in 2021.
The total energy consumption per unit of GDP is decreasing very rapidly (around -4.2%/year since 2015), driven by the shift from coal to gas and solar in power generation, while the final energy intensity has remained stable since 2013.

Crude Oil Production
Oil production is limited (269 kt). Crude oil imports increased by 6% in 2021 after a 17% drop in 2020.
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 (investment of US$670m) to produce cooking gas, naphtha, kerosene, and high-quality diesel.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Cabinet's plan (2011) to reach a power capacity from renewables of 2 760 MW in 2020, contributing to 10% of the power mix, was achieved in terms of capacity (2 800 MW), but not in terms of power mix (6%).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2021), Israel increased its emissions reduction target to 29% compared to 2015 (previously 26%); this corresponds to a level of emissions of 58 MtCO2eq in 2030. The country also committed to cut emissions by at least 85% by 2050.
