Total Energy Consumption

Energy consumption per capita is low, at about 0.27 toe/capita, including 165 kWh of electricity (2020).

Energy consumption is dominated by biomass, which represented 65% of the total energy consumption in 2020 despite a declining share (-8 points since 2010). It is followed by oil with 32% and hydroelectricity and power imports with 2%.

Crude Oil Production

All the oil products consumed in the country are imported, mainly from Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Niger. Oil product imports have doubled since 2010, reaching 1.8 Mt in 2020.

Renewable in % Electricity Production

AER ("Agence des Energies Renouvelables") is the national agency in charge of renewables.

ANADEB, National Agency for the Development of Biofuels, coordinates the policies and actions for the promotion of biofuels.

The National Action Plan for Renewable Energies PANER (2015-2030) aims to raise the share of grid-connected renewables in the installed capacity to 58% by 2030, with 1416 MW of renewables (including medium and large hydropower and 528 MW of solar).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In its updated NDC (2021), Mali set a target to reduce its GHG emissions by 31% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario (-25% for agriculture, -31% for energy, and -39% for LULUCF).

Since 2005, energy-related CO2 emissions have more than tripled, reaching almost 6 Mt in 2020.
