Sector definition

Total energy use

This is the total energy delivered and consumed in a region. It is the sum of the energy used by all sectors: the energy, industry, buildings and transport sectors. The Eurostat equivalent is “gross available energy”. COAL & WASTE includes manufactured gases, peat products, oil shale and oil sands and non-renewable waste.

Energy sector

By selecting this sector, you can see the energy needed to produce and distribute electricity, district heat, hydrogen and e-fuels (derived from electricity), gasoline, diesel, kerosene and advanced biofuel. Imports of electricity, hydrogen and e-fuel are shown separately; exports are not shown.

Industry

Following industries are included: iron (including blast furnaces and cokes production), steel, cement, glass, chemicals, petrochemicals, the production of plastics (non-energy uses), food and paper, agriculture, forestry and fishing. Refineries are excluded because they are part of the energy industries.

Buildings

This is the final energy use of all buildings (residential, commercial and public services). It includes energy for space heating, hot water, lighting and other appliances.

Transport

This is the total energy use of all types of transport (road, air, water), including energy for international aviation and maritime. Biofuels include biomethane in this tool.

Electricity, district heat and new fuels

The white, upper bars represent the consumption of electricity, district heat, hydrogen or e-fuels.

Energy is needed to produce these derived fuels which is visualised in the energy sector. Electricity and district heat are transported via national energy infrastructure (grids). Hydrogen can be produced from electricity or from other sources.

E-gas and e-fuels are fuels produced from CO2 and from hydrogen obtained from electricity. An example is e-kerosene which is an e-fuel suitable for aviation. When combusting kerosene, water and CO2 are produced. To produce e-kerosene, this process is reversed and you start from water, CO2 and a lot of electricity to generate this new fuel.

There is no net CO2 emission from using e-gas or e-fuel when the CO2 to produce those fuels, is captured from the air or from sustainable biomass sources.
