Energy Yield and Consumption in the Federal Republic of German in 1981.

In 1981, the energy yield in the Federal Republic of Germany stood at 12,385 PJ, 5% lower than in 1980. Although the import quota fell sharply to 7,329 PJ, it nevertheless retained a 59% share. Of these imports, 67% were oil imports, which meant that just under 40% of the total energy yield in 1981 had to be provided by oil imports. In 1981, the energy consumption level of the Federal Republic was 7,221 PJ; this figure was 4. 1% lower than in 1980 and was still below the level reached in 1976. Oil consumption stood at 51%. Only in the area of industrial consumption can a certain degree of balance in the energy sources used be established. Here, oil accounted for 23. 0%, gas 30. 8%, coal 23. 4% and electricity 21. 3%.
