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 is formed by the production of energy, supply and delivery and the stock change. With regard to energy conversion, the table provides figures on the use of energy carriers for conversion (the amount of energy used to make other energy carriers) and on the production of energy after conversion (the amount of energy made from other energy carriers). , as well as the balance of input and production. This balance of energy conversion can be interpreted as the loss of energy in the conversion. Subsequently, the energy balance shows the final consumption of energy, this is the final consumption of energy. This consists of the final energy consumption and the non-energetic use. The final energy consumption is the energy that energy consumers use for energy purposes. Non-energy use is the use of an energy carrier to make a product that is not an energy carrier. Data available: From: 2000 1st quarter Status of the figures: All figures up to and including reporting period 2003 3rd quarter are final. Change as of May 6, 2004 None, this table has been discontinued. For more information, see section 3. When will new figures be published: No longer applicable.
