Total Energy Consumption
Energy consumption per capita is low, at about 0.3 toe/capita in 2021, compared to the average for Sub-Saharan Africa (0.6 toe/capita), but is higher than in neighbour countries (0.1 toe/capita in Niger and 0.2 toe/capita in Burkina Faso), including 140 kWh of electricity (2021).
Since 2010, primary energy consumption has increased by an average of 4%/year, reaching 6.2 Mtoe in 2021. The share of biomass in primary consumption declined from 81% in 2010 to 67% in 2021, whereas the share of oil increased from 18% in 2010 to 31% in 2021.

Crude Oil Production
The country does not have domestic crude oil production or a refinery.
Mali's consumption of fuel products is entirely met through imports, mainly from Senegal and Niger. Oil product imports have tripled since 2010, reaching 1.9 Mt in 2021.
In September 2022, Niger stopped exporting oil products to Mali.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
AER ("Agence des Energies Renouvelables") is the national agency in charge of renewables.
The National Action Plan for Renewable Energies (PANER) 2015-2030 aims to raise the share of grid-connected renewables including hydro by 2030 to 58% of the installed capacity (43% in 2021) and 37% in the power mix (44% in 2021, including 38% of hydro). These targets were included in the new NDC (2021).
ANADEB, National Agency for the Development of Biofuels, coordinates policies and actions for the promotion of biofuels.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2021), Mali set a target to conditionally reduce its GHG emissions by 40% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario (-31% for energy, -25% for agriculture, -39% for forests, and -31% for waste).
Since 2005, energy-related CO2 emissions have more than tripled, reaching almost 6 Mt in 2021.
