Use Cases

• Analyze trends in Petroleum Consumption and Coal Production across different countries.
• Model the relationship between Electricity Price and Natural Gas Price using reported price data.
• Forecast future Petroleum Production based on historical production and Petroleum Reserves data.
• Assess energy security by examining Coal Stocks and Natural Gas Stocks levels internationally.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative U.S. Department of Energy.
• Covers a wide range of energy metrics, including 20 distinct categories like reserves, production, and prices.
• Includes data on carbon emissions, supporting environmental impact studies.

Limitations

• The last update was in July 2021, making the data potentially stale for current analysis.
• Specific data volume, row count, and column structure are unknown.
• Access requires obtaining an API key from the EIA, adding a step for users.
