The World Energy Council (WEC) is a global multi-energy organization with Member Committees in over 90 countries, including most of the largest energy producing and energy consuming countries. The 80-year-old organization covers all types of energy, including coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, and renewables, and is UN-accredited, non-governmental, non-commercial and non-aligned. Notable publications include the Survey of World Energy Resources that has data on resources, reserves, production and consumption for conventional and alternative energy sources for most countries in the world.
