Energy balance; supply and consumption, sector

This table contains figures on the supply and consumption of energy by sector and per energy carrier. The supply of energy is equal to the extraction of energy plus the supply minus the delivery plus the change in stock. The consumption of energy is equal to the sum of own consumption, distribution losses, final energy consumption, non-energy use and the balance of deployment and production of energy. For each sector, the supply of energy is equal to the consumption of energy. For some energy carriers, the total of observed domestic deliveries is not exactly the sum of the observed domestic supplies. For these energy carriers there is a statistical difference which cannot be attributed to a sector. The sectoral breakdown follows broadly the classification as usual in international energy statistics. This classification is based on functions of various energy sectors and on elements from the international standard business classification. There are two main sectors: the energy sector (companies with main activity of extracting or converting energy) and energy customers (other companies and households). In addition to a sectoral breakdown, there is also a breakdown by energy carrier, such as coal, various oil products, natural gas, renewable energy, electricity and heat. The definitions used in this table correspond exactly to the definitions in the Energy Balance table; supply, conversion and consumption. This table does not contain a breakdown by sector (excluding final energy consumption), but provides information on imports, exports and bunkers and also provides some more detail on the energy carriers. Data available: From 1990 onwards. Status of the figures: All figures up to reporting year 2019 are final. Figures for 2020 are further provisional. Changes as of 1 March 2022 Figures for the years 1990 to 2020 have been revised. The main change is another way of reflecting the own electricity consumption of electricity generating facilities. Previously, this was considered as electricity/wkk conversion. From now on, this is seen as self-consumption, as is customary in international energy statistics. As a result, the stakes and conversion balances increase off and own consumption, on average some 15 PJ per year. End-users also have power generating facilities. Therefore, from now on, the final consumption sectors also have their own consumption, whereas this was not the case before. The previous revision of 2021 introduced the new blast furnaces sector for the years 2015 to 2020 describing the transformation of coke oven coke and coking coal into blast furnace gas that takes place in the production of iron ore crude iron. This activity was previously part of the steel industry. With this revision, the amendment was reduced to 1990. Changes as of 16 December 2021 Figures from 2015 to 2018 have been revised and the structure of the table has been adjusted. The main points of the revision are the following: Blast furnaces are visible as a separate sector from 2015 onwards and are no longer part of the iron and steel industry, but part of the energy sector. As a result, the energy sector’s own consumption increased over 10 PJ for these years and the final energy consumption decreased by more than 10 PJ. The energy carriers are coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, natural gas and electricity. The conversion of coking coal and coke into blast furnace gas is now placed in the blast furnaces sector and no longer in the iron and steel industry. Another revision point concerns shifting the production of other oil products in the chemical industry outside petrochemicals to extraction (0.4 to 4 PJ per year). Both revision points are intended to monitor even more fully the international agreements on energy statistics. In addition, a number of other improved insights on the energy balance of individual companies have been taken into account for 2015 to 2018. When will there be new figures? Further provisional figures: June/July of the year following the reporting year. Final figures: December of the second year following the reporting year.
