Qatar Total Energy Production & Consumption
The country's total energy consumption per capita is very high at over 17.5 toe (1st highest in the world) in 2025.
Total energy consumption has been growing by 2%/year on average since 2012, reaching 50.5 Mtoe in 2025. It grew very rapidly between 2000 and 2013 (around 9%/year).
Total consumption is dominated by gas (77%), followed by oil (23%) and electricity only covered 0.4%. The share of gas has declined since 2021 (-3.5 pp).

Qatar Oil Production & Consumption
Crude oil and NGL production has been quite stable since 2019, reaching 74 Mt in 2025. It reached a peak in 2014 (82 Mt) and fell until 2019 at an average rate of 2.6%/year. It progressed rapidly between 2005 and 2014 (6.1%/year), with the increase in NGL production (around 50% of the production).
Almost 60% of the crude oil production is exported.
Oil consumption has remained relatively stable since 2023 (approximately 23 Mt).

Qatar Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030 aims to reach 18% of renewables in the power mix by 2030 (4% in 2025) and targets 4 GW of new large-scale renewable energy capacity, with a focus on solar PV.
The target of a solar capacity of 1 800 MW in 2020 was not reached, as the first 800 MW solar plant was only connected to the grid in 2022.
Kahramaa has launched a distributed solar energy service, BeSolar, and implemented a net billing mechanism for surplus solar electricity injected into the grid (QAR24c/kWh, or USD65c/kWh).

Qatar GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its updated NDC (2021), Qatar pledged to reduce its GHG emissions in 2030 by 25% relative to a BaU scenario.
The Qatar National Renewable Energy Strategy (2024) also aims at reducing the CO2 intensity of power generation by 27% compared to 2021 by 2030.
