The U.S. Chamber’s Institute for 21st Century Energy today introduced the International Index of Energy Security Risk, a quantitative measurement of energy security from 1980 to 2010, following the success of the Index of U.S. Energy Security Risk, which launched in 2010.
The international index uses 28 measures of energy security, including fossil fuel imports, efficiency, transportation and more, to rank the world’s top energy users on a yearly basis.
It allows policymakers, business leaders and analysts to compare U.S. energy security to other countries and better understand the risks facing other nations, said Karen Harbert, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber’s Energy Institute.
