Description

This table contains figures on the supply, conversion and consumption of energy. Energy is released during the combustion of, for example, natural gas, petroleum, coal and biofuels. Energy can also be obtained from electricity or heat or extracted from nature, for example wind power or solar energy. In energy statistics, all these sources from which energy can be used are called 'energy carriers'. The supply of energy consists of the extraction of energy, the balance of imports and exports and the balance of the change in inventories. This is also called the primary energy supply, because this is the amount of energy available in the country for conversion or consumption. For energy conversion, the table gives figures on the use of energy carriers for conversion (the amount of energy used to make other energy carriers), as well as on the production of energy after conversion (the amount of energy made from other energy carriers), and on the balance of use and production. This balance of energy conversion can be interpreted as the loss of energy during conversion. Next, the energy balance shows the final consumption of energy, this is the final consumption of energy. First, it concerns own consumption and distribution losses. After deduction of these quantities, the final consumption of energy customers remains. This consists of final energy consumption and non-energy use. Final energy consumption is the energy that energy customers use for energy purposes. It is specified for industry, transport and other customers, broken down by various subsectors. The last form of energy consumption is the non-energy use. This is the use of an energy carrier to make a product that is not an energy carrier. Data available: From 1946. Status of figures: All figures up to and including the reporting year 2021 are final. Figures for 2022 and 2023 are further provisional. Changes as of 7 June 2024: Further provisional figures for 2023 have been added. Changes as of 26 April 2024: Preliminary figures for 2023 have been added. The energy balance has been revised from 2015 on a limited number of points. The most important are the following: 1. For solid biomass and household waste, the most recent data have been included and work has been carried out on integration with figures for a new, yet to be published StatLine table on the supply of solid biomass. As a result, there are some changes in imports, exports and extraction of biomass of up to a few PJ. 2. In the case of natural gas, an improvement has been made in the processing of data for stored LNG, which causes a shift between stock change, import and export of up to a few PJ. 3. Data for final energy consumption of blended biofuels per transport subsector were erroneously omitted. These have now been made visible. Changes as of 25 March 2024: The energy balance has been overhauled and restructured. This mainly concerns a different way of dealing with biofuels that have been blended into fossil fuels. Previously, biofuels blended with fossil fuels were counted among petroleum raw materials and products. In the new energy balance, blended biofuels count towards renewable energy and petroleum feedstocks and products and the underlying products (such as petrol, diesel and kerosene) only concern the fossil part of blends of fossil and biogenic fuels. To make this clear, the names of the energy carriers have been adjusted. As a result of this adjustment, part of the energy has been moved from petroleum to renewable. For total energy carriers, the energy balance remains the same. The aim of this adjustment is to highlight the increasing role of blended biofuels in the energy balance and to better reflect the energy balances published by Eurostat and the International Energy Agency. Within renewable energy and biomass, pure and blended biofuels are now visible as separate energy carriers. In addition, the way in which electric road transport is handled has improved, as a result of which the supply and final consumption of electricity in the services increased by more than 2 PJ in 2021 and 2022. Changes as of 14 November 2023: For the years 2021 and 2022, the figures have been adjusted. Figures for the Energy Balance 2015 to 2020 have been revised. The issues are as follows: Voor de jaren 2019 en 2020 is het finaal energieverbruik van warmte in de landbouw een paar PJ lager en dat van de diensten een paar PJ hoger als gevolg van een verbetering in de interpretatie van de beschikbare cijfers over aanvoer van warmte door de landbouw. Bij de winning van aardwarmte door de landbouw komt ook aardgas mee dat door de landbouwbedrijven zelf wordt verbruikt. This is now included in the energy balance. The figure is 0.2 PJ in 2015, rising to 0.7 PJ in 2020. Er zijn enkele verbeteringen van data voor warmte in industrie doorgevoerd van ongeveer 1 PJ of kleiner. Er zijn enkele andere verbeteringen in data meegenomen, ook maximaal ongeveer 1PJ, meest kleiner. Changes as of 10 October 2023: The energy carrier gas factory coke has been added. Improved data for the period 1946 to 1989 have been added. Changes as of 26 May 2023: Provisional figures for 2022 have been revised. When will there be new figures? Provisional figures: April following the reporting year. Further preliminary figures: June/July following the reporting year. Final figures: December of the second year following the reporting year.
