Supplier evidence

EU Oil, Gas and Solid-Fuel Import Partners

A source-aware view of extra-EU supplier concentration that keeps raw Comext, official API and published-workbook evidence separate.

Data build reviewed 2026-07-13 · English

Partner rankings are meaningful only when product codes, reporter scope, trade flow, period and measurement unit match. SecurEnergy preserves three provenance layers instead of merging unlike figures into one ranking.

Raw Comext

The preferred replication layer for selected CN energy products, explicit extra-EU filtering and partner shares.

Official API

A reproducible annual quantity route used for coherent partner analysis when the raw value/mass scope is not required.

Published workbook

A comparison layer for figures presented in Eurostat communication material; derived aggregates are labelled separately.

Latest local replication snapshot

The table reports the three largest partners in the project’s 2025 raw-Comext replication by net-mass share within each selected product scope. It is not a share of total EU energy demand, and percentages should not be aggregated across unlike products.

Selected product scopeThree largest partners in 2025
Solid fuels (project label: coal)Australia (29.8%), United States (27.3%), Colombia (16.5%)
Natural gas in gaseous stateAlgeria (30.6%), Norway (24.6%), Russia (15.9%)
Liquefied natural gasUnited States (52.9%), Russia (12.6%), Qatar (11.1%)
Petroleum oilUnited States (14.6%), Kazakhstan (12.8%), Norway (12.8%)

Product coverage

Value shares and net-mass shares answer different questions. Quantity aggregation across unlike fuels is descriptive and is not a physically harmonized energy measure.

Questions this evidence can support

Supplier concentration

Which partners account for the largest shares inside a defined product and period?

Diversification

How have selected supplier shares and concentration changed over time?

Scenario transmission

Which oil, gas or solid-fuel channels could transmit a geopolitical or infrastructure shock?

Detailed filtering and validation rules are documented in the methodology. The underlying public source is Eurostat Comext; SecurEnergy’s transformations remain project-derived.
