Explanation of symbols

Dataset is not available.


This table shows the indigenious production, total final consumption and import and export of different kinds of solid biomass commodities. The classification of solid biomass is based on the breakdown of biomass requested by Eurostat, which results from the European Regulation 2018/1999 and coordination with national users.

Data available:
From 2015 onwards.

Status of the figures:
Figures 2015-2021 are definite. The 2022 figures are revised provisional.

Changes as of June 2024
None, this table is new.

When will new figures be published?
In May 2024 definite figures 2022 and revised provisional figures 2023 will be published.

Description topics

Total final consumption
The amount of energy used by companies, households and transport in the Netherlands. Energy can be used
- for transformation into other energy commodities, this is input minus the energy produced.
- as final consumption.

Total energy consumption =
Total net energy transformation + total own use + distribution losses + total final consumption.
Total final consumption(tons dry matter)
The amount of energy used by companies, households and transport in the Netherlands. Energy can be used
- for transformation into other energy commodities, this is input minus the energy produced.
- as final consumption.

Total energy consumption =
Total net energy transformation + total own use + distribution losses + total final consumption.
