Lithuania Crude Oil Production

Apart from a marginal production of around 30 kt, Lithuania imports all its crude oil (9 Mt in 2023, mainly from Saudi Arabia (40%), followed by Norway (27%) and the United States (24%). It is refined at the Mazeikiai refinery which has a capacity of 15 Mt/year, and which operates at around 2/3 of its capacity. The country is a net exporter of oil products (6.9 Mt of exports for 0.9 Mt of imports in 2023).

Lithuania Oil Products Consumption

Oil consumption has been rising by 2.2%/year since 2014, reaching 2.9 Mt (2023). It had remained broadly stable at around 2.5 Mt between 2000 and 2014, after nearly halving between 1992 and 2002.

Graph: OIL CONSUMPTION (Mt)

In 2023, transport consumed nearly 2/3 of the country's oil products (65%), followed by power generation with 20%.

Lithuania Renewable in % Electricity Production

The target of the National Renewable Energy and Climate Action Plan of a 23% share of renewables in final energy consumption has been exceeded since 2016. The target set for renewables in 2030 in the updated NECP Draft is 55% of final consumption. In 2023, the share of renewables was 32%, of which 54% for heating, 37% for power, and 7% for transport.

In 2021, the government announced the expected investment (€10 bn) to bring the share of green power to 50% by 2025 and 100% by 2050.

Lithuania CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

GHG emissions have remained broadly stable since 2009, but fell by 60% between 1990 and 2022 (18.9 Mt). They had decreased by nearly 60% between 1990 and 2000 and risen by 30% between 2000 and 2007, offset by significant drops in 2008 and 2009.

Lithuania aims to cap the increase in GHG emissions in sectors covered by the EU ETS to 15% compared to the 2005 level (15.5 MtCO2eq). Ahead of the COP 21, Lithuania's NDC includes a binding GHG emission reduction of 55% by 2030 compared to 1990.
