Explanation of symbols

Table explanation


This table shows the supply, transformation and the consumption of energy in a balance sheet. Energy is released - among other things - during the combustion of for example natural gas, petroleum, hard coal and biofuels. Energy can also be obtained from electricity or heat, or extracted from natural resources, e.g. wind or solar energy. In energy statistics all these sources of energy are known as energy commodities.

The supply side of the balance sheet includes indigenous production of energy, imports and exports and stock changes. For energy transformation, the table gives figures both on the transformation input (energy used to make other energy commodities) and the transformation output (energy made from other energy commodities) of energy commodities. The consumption side shows the consumption of energy for transformation in other energy commodities or as final consumption.

The energy balance describes the situation for the five main sectors, i.e. energy sector, industry (non energy), transport, private households and agriculture, fishing and services and many sub sectors. There is a difference between the energy balance sheet of the Netherlands and the energy balance sheet by sector. Imports and exports by sector are not known. The supply and deliveries by sector are known. The energy balance sheet shows net supply and deliveries. This equals net imports, exports and bunkers.

Figures refer to companies, institutions, private households and transport. Companies and institutions are broken down by branche based on the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC 2008). Sectors starting with a letter or number are SIC 2008 sectors.

Data available:
From 1995 up to and including 2013

Status of the figures:
All figures up to 2013 are definite.

Changes as of 28 July 2015:
None, this table has been discontinued, because the figures have been revised for all years.
The successor of this table is 'Energy balance sheet; supply, transformation and consumption'. See section 3.

When will new figures be published?
Not applicable.

Note:
With the publication of revised provisional annual figures the underlying monthly balance sheets retain their provisional character. Monthly balance sheets of energy commodities natural gas, hard coal, electricity, petroleum products, crude and motor fuels have been published in separate StatLine tables (see 3. Links to relevant tables and symbols). Upon publication of the definite annual energy balance sheet the monthly balance sheets will be definite.

Description topics

Energy commodities petajoule
An energy commodity is energy, and may take the form of a fuel, heat or power. A petajoule (PJ) equals 1,000,000,000,000,000 joules (10 to the power of 15). A joule is a unit of energy equivalent to 0.24 calories. A PJ is equivalent to 31.6 million cubic meters of natural gas or 278 million kilowatt-hours of electricity.
Total energy commodities
This category is made up of the categories:
- Coal and coal products
- Crude and petroleum products
- Natural gas
- Renewable energy
- Nuclear energy
- Waste and other energy commodities
- Electricity
- Heat
Natural gas
Gaseous fuel of natural origin mainly consisting of methane. This results from the same process that leads to the formation of crude oil. Natural gas is liquefied for transport over long distances by ship.
Renewable energy
Renewable energy is energy from wind, hydro power, the sun, the earth, heat from outdoor air and biomass. Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural processes which are constantly replenished. Therefore, fossil and nuclear energy are not covered by renewable energy.

This definition of renewable energy followes the Energy Statistics Manual of the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Eurostat. Also definitions according to other methods are followed: the gross final consumption method from the EU Directive on Renewable Energy and the subsitution method from the national Protocol Monitoring Renewable Energy. As a result of the method followed 'shallow geothermal energy', 'aerothermal heat' and 'heat from just milked milk' are covered or not by renewable energy.
Total renewable energy
This category is made up of the categories:
- Wind energy
- Hydro power
- Solar energy
- Geothermal, deep
- Biomass
Wind energy
Energy produced with wind turbines. Wind turbines can be placed on shore and inland waters and off shore. Wind turbines on inland waters are counted in wind energy on shore.
Hydro power
Energy produced by flowing or falling water.
Solar energy
Solar radiation used for the production of hot water and electricity by solar panels and solar cells. Passive solar energy for heating buildings and greenhouses is not included.
Geothermal, deep
Deep geothermal is geothermal energy from below 500 m.

Geothermal energy below this depth originates from processes within the earth.
Nuclear energy
Energy released by nuclear fusion. The energy is used to heat water, which is transformed into high pressure steam. This is used to generate electricity through a steam turbine.
Waste and other energy commodities
Energy not from fossil, renewable or nuclear energy commodities. Included are:
- The non-biogenic fraction of municipal and industrial waste used for the production of energy;
- Electricity generated by the expansion of gas in gas expansion turbines;
- Heat released in chemical reactions;
- Geothermal energy from above 500 m below the surface (geothermal energy above this depth originates mainly from seasonal exchange with the atmosphere; is also known as heat/cold storage);
- Aerothermal heat (used for heating houses and commercial buildings by means of a heat pump);
- Heat from just milked milk.
Electricity
Flow of electrons used to light lamps or to operate washing machines. Electrons are elementary particles in an atom with a negative charge that flow by a potential difference.
Heat
Energy in the form of steam and/or warm water. Steam is water with a temperature of more than 100 degrees Celsius. Warm water has a temperature of less than 100 degrees Celsius.
Energy commodities physical units
An energy commodity is energy, and may take the form of a fuel, heat or power. Energy commodities without known physical unit are presented in the unit of joules.
