Net energy imports (gross imports less gross exports, in tons of oil equivalent) as a share of primary energy use, for the 8-country panel (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, India). Negative values are genuine: they indicate the country is a net energy exporter (e.g. the USA from 2020 onward, Canada throughout) and are kept, never dropped. The World Bank publishes the indicator in the World Development Indicators from the IEA Energy Statistics Data Browser (International Energy Agency, accessed 2025-03-25). Pairs with the energy-use-per-capita dataset (import dependence vs domestic consumption) and the renewable-energy-consumption-share dataset. The 8-country panel is covered 2000-2023; values are null where national statistics are unavailable and are never interpolated. Units: % of energy use.
