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.
- Gross energy use
- Total energy input for economic processes.
---
This is the total need for energy of the different economic activities, for instance the total amount of energy that energy companies need in the production of electricity and heat, or the total amount of energy that refineries need for the production of crude oil products. The gross energy supply can be separated into extraction and import.- Total gross energy use
- Total energy input for economic processes.
---
This is the total need for energy of the different economic activities, for instance the total amount of energy that energy companies need in the production of electricity and heat, or the total amount of energy that refineries need for the production of crude oil products. The gross energy supply can be separated into extraction and import.
- Extraction
- The extraction of energy from the environment
---
Fossil energy carriers such as coal, crude oil and natural gas can be excavated. Renewable energy carriers are, among others, wind energy and biomass. Extraction also includes the energy that is generated from waste.
- Energy purchased
- Energy products that are purchased from third parties and that serve as input for the economic process.
- Total energy purchased
- Energy products that are purchased from third parties and that serve as input for the economic process.
---
This corresponds to the intermediate use in the national accounts.
- Coal and coalproducts
- Fossil fuels that consist from petrified remains of plants. The petrification is the result of prolonged exposure to high temperature and pressure.
---
Coal can also serve as the source for other products such as coke oven cokes and coke oven gas.
- Crude oil resources
- Commodities that serve as resource in refineries.
---
These are mainly crude oil and natural gas liquids.
- Motorfuels for road traffic
- Automotiv LPG, motor petrol and transport diesel.
- Other oil products
- Products containing crude oil that are available for final use. Usually produced in a refinery, excluding motor fuels that are used for road transport. Other oil products also contain products that are not used as a source of energy but as resource or adjuvant.
---
Examples are turpentine, lubricants and bitumen (asphalt).
- Other energy products
- Natural gas, electricity, heat, biomass. Electricity includes net services.
