Dataset Schema (4 features)
| Name | Type | Nullable | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity | string | No | Name of the country or geographic region for which natural gas consumption growth is reported. |
| Code | string | Yes | ISO or standardized country code associated with the entity. Some regional aggregates may not have codes. |
| Year | integer | No | Calendar year representing when the natural gas consumption growth measurement was recorded. |
| Gas (TWh growth) | float | No | Annual growth in natural gas consumption measured in terawatt-hours (TWh). Positive values indicate increased consumption compared to the previous year, while negative values indicate a decrease. |

About This Dataset
The dataset provides a time-series record of natural gas consumption growth measured in terawatt-hours (TWh). Each row represents the annual change in gas consumption for a specific country or geographic region. The dataset includes the entity name, an optional country code, the year of measurement, and the corresponding growth value. The data can be used to study trends in natural gas demand, energy transitions, and regional energy consumption patterns over time.
Data Quality
The dataset is mostly complete with consistent numeric formatting for the year and growth values. Some rows contain missing values in the country code column, which may represent aggregated regions or entries where standardized ISO codes were not assigned.
Use Cases
Energy demand forecasting, global energy trend analysis, climate and emissions modeling, academic research on energy transitions, and policy analysis related to natural gas consumption.
Limitations
Country codes are missing for a portion of the dataset, and the dataset only captures growth in natural gas consumption rather than absolute consumption values. Additional contextual variables such as population, production levels, or economic indicators are not included.
Methodology
The dataset was likely compiled from international energy statistics sources where national energy consumption data are aggregated annually and converted into standardized energy units such as terawatt-hours.
