Sources Reference Guide

Version 1.1 · Licence terms checked against each publisher's own terms on 29 September 2026 · Reviewed quarterly

One place, every official source, nothing altered. Eurabelt Fuels Global Statistics brings official energy statistics from government agencies, regulators and intergovernmental bodies together in one verified location. Every figure carries its publisher, dataset, reference period and retrieval date, so it can be checked against the original in one click. This guide lists every source we use or have assessed, what each covers, how often it updates, the terms under which it may be reused, and how to cite it.

1. Admission standard

A source is admitted only if it meets every one of the following criteria:

  1. Institutional authority. The publisher is a government agency, national ministry, regulator, central bank, intergovernmental body, or a formally recognised academic or standards institution.
  2. Verifiability. Each data point is traceable to a stable publication, series identifier or API route.
  3. Currency. The publisher releases updates on a stated schedule. Under Charter ruling 9.1, “current” means the latest official release on that schedule.
  4. Continuity. Historical series run continuously to the latest release.
  5. Neutrality. Content is statistical, not commentary, opinion or advocacy.
  6. Lawful reuse. The publisher's terms permit our intended use, confirmed and recorded before ingestion.

Blogs, commentary, editorials, advocacy content, social media, user-generated content, unverifiable newsletters and marketing material are excluded, as is any source whose authority or currency cannot be demonstrated.

2. Status key

StatusMeaning

3. Regional coverage

Under Charter ruling 9.2, global coverage is assessed across the portal as a whole. The matrix shows which admitted sources (Live, Approved or Terms pending) cover each region.

9. Licensing and redistribution summary

  • Public-domain and open-licensed data (for example EIA; the UK Open Government Licence; the Open Government Licence – Canada; World Bank CC BY 4.0; UNdata; Eurostat) is published as Public Content with the attribution each publisher requires.
  • Free data remains free. Where a publisher releases data free of charge, it remains freely available from that publisher. Eurabelt claims no exclusive rights in public data; its own work is the compilation, verification, history, formats and delivery.
  • Licensed data (IEA licensed datasets and the Oil Market Report; exchange market data; price-reporting-agency assessments) is not ingested or redistributed unless Eurabelt holds a written licence. Any such content is provided only to licensees, within the scope of that licence, and labelled RESTRICTED-LICENSED.
  • No endorsement. Publishing a source's data does not imply that the publisher endorses Eurabelt or any user. Publisher names and logos are used only to attribute data.

10. How to cite

Citing a figure from the Service:

Source: [Publisher], [Dataset], [series identifiers where shown]; reference period [period]. Compiled by Eurabelt Fuels Global Statistics, retrieved [date, UTC].
