The overall gas consumption in B&H ranged on the level of approx. 400 millions of m3 in
1979 ÷ 1984, and the peak consumption was in 1990, when it was 610 millions of m3. In the
period 1992 - 1999 the natural gas consumption has been reduced. In the last few years the
natural gas consumption has been gradually increasing, primarily thanks to the increasing of
the consumption in industrial sector, as well as extension of the distribution network.

Post-war consumption of gas for B&H is at level of up to 200 millions m3. There is no data for
consumption of gas per sector.
According to data of Chamber of Commerce of B&H, from 1997 to 2001, the average
consumption of oil derivates in B&H ranges about 1.2 millions of tons /year.
The main consumers of the final forms of energy are households and the commercial sector
(often considered as one consumer category), the industry and the transport sector. The
share of individual consumer groups varies depending on a number of factors, climate being
one of the most important.
