Brunei Darussalam: Combustible renewables and waste (% of total energy)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2015, Brunei Darussalam's combustible renewables and waste (% of total energy) did not change 0 percentage points on 2014 (from 0% to 0%).

Across the 24 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2014), the average change was −0.01 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.01 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly fall was 0.05 percentage points in 1991. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2006 to 2015 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains less than 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures

Combustible renewables and waste comprise solid biomass, liquid biomass, biogas, industrial waste, and municipal waste, measured as a percentage of total energy use. The indicator expresses the share of total energy supply.

Limitations: The IEA makes these estimates in consultation with national statistical offices, oil companies, electric utilities, and national energy experts. The IEA occasionally revises its time series to reflect political changes, and energy statistics undergo continual changes in coverage or methodology as more detailed energy accounts become available. Breaks in series are therefore unavoidable.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
