Table explanation


The energy accounts show how much energy flows into the Dutch economy (imports and domestic production) and how much is used by the Dutch economy (domestic use and exports). It also presents the energy that flows within the economy. The energy accounts distinguishes between energy products and users/producers of energy. They can be used to investigate where the economy gets its energy from and what it uses it for, which sector uses the most, how important imports are, and how efficiently the economy uses its energy.

The energy accounts differentiates between gross and net use of energy. Net energy is further disaggregated into different types of energy use. Gross energy use is further disaggregated into energy that is extracted from the domestic environment and energy that is imported from third parties. Imported energy is further disaggregated into different groups of energy carriers. The table presents the consumption of different energy carriers and allocates them to various industries and households. The energy accounts originate from the energy balance and are part of the environmental accounts that are published on an annual base. The data in the environmental accounts correspond directly to the economic data in the national accounts. This allows for direct comparisons of economic statistics that are derived from the Dutch national economic accounts with the energy consumption figures. Furthermore, the energy accounts can be used to construct environmental indicators. For example, the energy accounts can be used to determine the use of different energy carriers in the Netherlands as a whole and for individual industries .

The figures in the Dutch energy accounts are consistent with the concepts and definitions of the national accounts and may therefore deviate from figures in the Dutch energy balance.

Description topics

Net energy consumption
Energy that is consumed in an economic process that can no longer be retrieved for other energetic purposes in the short term.
---
Net energy consumption is equal to the final energy consumption for energetic (e.g. the use of gasoline for transport) and non-energetic purposes (e.g. the use of naphtha for the production of plastics) plus the energy conversion loss.
Total net energy consumption
Energy that is consumed in an economic process that can no longer be retrieved for other energetic purposes in the short term.
---
Net energy consumption is equal to the final energy consumption for energetic (e.g. the use of gasoline for transport) and non-energetic purposes (e.g. the use of naphtha for the production of plastics) plus the energy conversion loss.
Conversion Loss
Energy loss that occurs in the conversion of one energy carrier into another.
---
For instance, the energy loss that occurs during the conversion of coal into electricity by energy companies.
Energetic final use
The use of energy for heating, lighting or as power source for cars, machines or other machinery.
---
Examples are the incineration of natural gas in a heater, the use of electricity by households en the use of gasoline for transport.
Non-energetic final use
The use of energy carriers in the production of (non-energy carrier) products. The energy used is present within the produced products.
---
Examples are the use of oil in the production of plastic or natural gas in the production of fertilisers. It is exclusive of conversion and other energy losses.
Other energy losses
This are losses that occur during the excavation, distribution and storage of energy.
