In-brief analysis

August 12, 2025

In 2024, the United States exported about 30% of its domestic primary energy production. This percentage has grown considerably in recent decades, according to data in our Monthly Energy Review. Nearly all of the exports were fossil fuels destined for other countries in North America, Europe, or Asia.

The United States set multiple records for energy production and exports in 2024. Of the record 103 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of total primary energy production in the United States, a record 31 quads went to other countries. The energy production that is not exported is not necessarily equivalent to domestic consumption because domestic consumption also includes energy imports and withdrawals from storage.

In our Monthly Energy Review, we convert different measurements for different sources of energy to one common unit of
