| − | In 2009, Libya has produced about 87,136 ktoe of energy, which is about 1,013,391.7 GWh. Clearly, crude oil is by far the most prominent energy source, making up almost 85% of energy production. It becomes obvious that Libya's energy production is quite monotonous. Another interesting fact is that renewable energies (at least for the year of 2009) have been neglected entirely. More current sources suggest that renewable energy production has risen to about 1%.<ref>Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP), "Policy DB Details: Libya (2010)", Last update: - , Accessed: Mar 14, 2012.

The ethnic composition of the population is mainly given by Arabs, arabized Berbers, Tuareg and Tubu.[6] A vast majority of approximately 97% of the population[7] avows itself to the religion of the Islam (Sunni Muslim). Main national language is arabic.
Libyan politics have been marked by the Arabic spring that took place in 2011. It ended with the defeat of the old Libyan regime and the death of the official ruler of the Libyan Arab Republic Colonel Muammar Gaddafi. The ousted regime had been opposed by the National Transitional Council (NTC) that had formed in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi. After the international recognition of the NTC as the governing body of Libya, an interim government has been officially inaugurated on the 24th of October 2011 with Abdel Rahim el Kib as the head of government.[8] The constituent assembly is supposed to be elected in the first half-year of 2012. </div>

It becomes obvious that Libya's energy production is quite monotonous. Another interesting fact is that renewable energies (at least for the year of 2009) have been neglected entirely. More current sources suggest that renewable energy production has risen to about 1%.[9] Published by the IEA, the table below offers further information on Libya's total energy production in 2009.
