What is "the APEC Energy Database"? The purpose of "the APEC Energy Database" is to establish a comprehensive and consistent energy database within the APEC region. This database will be used to assist in the identification of significant trends in energy supply and demand consistent with projects and priorities under the APEC Energy Working Group. It is prepared in close cooperation with member economies. Which member economies does "the APEC Energy Database" cover? "The APEC Energy Database" covers all APEC member economies, i.e. Australia; Brunei Darussalam; Canada; Chile; People's Republic of China; Hong Kong, China; Indonesia; Japan; Republic of Korea; Malaysia; Mexico; New Zealand; Papua New Guinea; Peru; Philippines; Russia; Singapore; Chinese Taipei; Thailand; United States of America and Vietnam. Due to technical reasons, data of Papua New Guinea are limited. What kind of standardization are done? The data submitted are not standardized in terms of head conversion. The Coordinating Agency adjusts figures to allow comparisons between members. The adjustments are adopting (1) the net calorific value, (2) the united conversion factors for primary electricity as following: Type Efficiency Hydro Power 100% Nuclear Power 33% Geothermal Power 10% Other New Power 100% Where shall I contact about data?
