A data overview is available in the global energy statistics app
Total Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is very high (the 11th highest worldwide in 2021) and represented 6.8 toe in 2021. Per capita electricity consumption was also very high in 2021 at 13 MWh (8th highest in the world), because of air conditioning in buildings and electro-intensive industries (aluminium).
Total energy consumption decreased sharply in 2017 (-22%) due to data revisions and has remained quite stable since (68.5 Mtoe in 2021). However, it more than doubled between 2000 and 2016.

Crude Oil Production
Oil production did not recover from its 9% decrease in 2020 and remained stable at 172 Mt in 2021. It had previously remained stable between 2015-2019 at around 180 Mt after a rapid increase of around 6%/year between 2010 and 2015.
The country exports around 85% of its production (2021), almost exclusively to Asia and the Pacific region.

Renewable in % Electricity Production
The UAE targets to reach 20% of the installed capacity with clean resources (including nuclear) by 2024 and 44% of energy consumption with renewables by 2050 (Energy Strategy 2050).
Dubai has also set an objective to provide 25% of its power output from clean energy by 2030 and 75% by 2050.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
The updated NDC (September 2022) raised the GHG reduction target to 31.5% by 2030 compared to a BAU scenario (23.5% previously).
Through its Net Zero 2050 Strategic Initiative launched in 2020, the UAE aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. In 2021, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure renewed the national target of 70% CO2 emissions cut by 2050 (initially formulated in the UAE Vision 2050).
CO2 emissions from energy use increased rapidly until 2016 (5.3%/year over 2000-2016) and then dropped in 2018 (-12%); they remained stable in 2020 and 2021 (179 MtCO2).
