EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

1) 

CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL 

1.1. 

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal 

The  development  of  Community  policy  and  legislation  on  energy  highlights  the  need  for 
comprehensive  and  comparable  European  statistics  on  a  range  of  energy  related  issues. 
Directives with clear quantitative targets and deadlines on energy in the EU implicitly require 
the need of monitoring the energy situation in order to verify if and how well such goals are 
met. 

The huge influence of energy transformation and consumption on our environment is bound 
to  remain  an  issue  of  concern  in  the  long-term  future  which  emphasizes  the  requirement  of 
accurate  energy  data.  A  correct  and  precise  energy  accountancy  has  become  particularly 
relevant  following  the  entry-into-force  of  the  Kyoto  Protocol  on  16  February  2005 :  our 
energy use is responsible for 80 % of the total EU emissions of greenhouse gases. 

The  proposal  also  takes  into  full  consideration  the  cooperation  of  the  Commission  with  the 
International Energy Agency (IEA) on energy statistics: the proposed data collection covers 
entirely the part that is shared with the IEA in the context of this cooperation. 

1.2. 

General context 

At  the  Hampton  Court  Summit  the  Heads  of  State  called  for  a  European  Energy  Policy.  In 
response to that the Commission prepares a package of measures as they are highlighted in the 
recent green paper on energy. 

The availability of timely and reliable data on the energy situation in the EU is of paramount 
importance  for  succeeding  in  this  objective.  This  importance  justifies  a  stable,  institutional 
basis  for  the  collection  of  energy  data  which  is  at  present  still  undertaken  by  voluntary 
agreements. 

The subject proposal also takes attention to minimize the burden on enterprises : although this 
regulation does not reduce the existing burden, it does not add new obligations nor increase 
the  existing  scope  of  energy  data  collection  in  the  EU.  The  objective  of  the  proposed 
Regulation  is  therefore  not  to  modify  the  statistical  work  that  is  already  being  done,  but  to 
provide a legal framework for it. 

This legal framework is proposed at a time when Member States experience more and more 
difficulties in the subject data collection. The liberalisation of the energy market resulted i.a. 
in  the  appearance  of  large  numbers  of  energy  producers  and  resellers  which  made  the  data 
collection far more complex. This put the resources allocated to energy data collection under 
pressure,  particularly  since  energy  has  remained  one  of  the  few  unregulated  statistical 
domains. 

The  fact  that  this  market  liberalisation  also  causes  issues  with  commercial  confidentiality 
makes  it  more  difficult  for  Member  States  officials  to  perform  their  statistical  work  on  the 
basis of a gentlemen's agreement.

In recent years, a general decline of the statistical quality (completeness, accuracy, timeliness) 
is being noticed. It is considered appropriate that initiatives be taken to underline the essential 
needs of reliable energy data i.a. by providing a regulated confirmation of the requirement for 
such important data collection work. 

The  significant  recent  increases  of  the  energy  prices  have  increased  the  awareness  of  the 
European citizens and policy makers on the complexity of our energy situation. Insight in this 
energy  situation  requires  availability  of  accurate,  timely  and  complete  statistical  data  on 
energy. 

1.3. 

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal 

Commission  Recommendation  88/96/ECSC  concerning  coal  statistics,  expired  together  with 
the ECSC on 23 July 2002. 

Council Regulation (EC) No 2964/95 of 20 December 1995, introducing registration for crude 
oil imports and deliveries in the Community. The proposed Regulation includes these data in 
an  aggregated  manner  and  confidentiality  problems  which  prevent  timely  dissemination  are 
solved by the data collection to which this Regulation proposal refers. 

It has to be noted that, even if the present proposal does not cover energy prices, several legal 
provisions exist on energy prices. They are listed here for easy reference: 

•  Commission  Decision  1999/566/EC  of  26  July  1999  implementing  Council 
Decision 1999/280/EC regarding a Community procedure for information and 
consultation  on  crude  oil  supply  costs  and  the  consumer  prices  of  petroleum 
products. The proposed Regulation does not include the data referred to in this 
Decision. 

•  Council  Directive  90/377/EEC  of  29  June  1990  concerning  a  Community 
procedure to improve the transparency of gas and electricity prices charged to 
industrial end-users. 

1.4. 

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union 

Detailed reference to the extensive EU energy policies is made in the justification part of this 
proposal.  The  Kyoto  protocol  imposes  high  quality  requirements  on  the  inventory  data  of 
greenhouse gasses, for which energy consumption is extensively responsible. The EU policies 
on  intelligent  energy  and  on  renewable  energy  require  detailed  quantitative  monitoring  to 
measure progress towards targets. Also the Community strategy for sustainable development 
includes  important  ambitions  notably  on  the  development  of  biofuels  and  other  renewable 
fuels, the data of which are covered by this Regulation as well.

Consultation of interested parties 

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents 

The  subject  proposal  has  been  discussed  in  a  work  group  meeting  on  13-14  June  2005  in

   EN 

 
Luxembourg,  by  subsequent  correspondence  with  the  existing  data  providers  of  the  Member 
States and during the meeting of 18-19 May 2006 of the Statistical Programme Committee. 

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account 

A very positive and supportive response has been noted. 

2.2. 

Collection and use of expertise 

There was no need for external expertise. 

2.3. 

Impact assessment 

The  implementation  of  the  proposed  Regulation  will  have  a  limited  impact  on  the  Member 
States,  because  the  described  data  collection  is  already  carried  out  in  its  entirety  on  a 
voluntary basis. 

This  proposal  is  quite  meaningful  for  environmental  considerations  because  of  the  huge 
influence  of  the  use  of  energy  on  the  environment.  Accurate  and  timely  data  on  the  energy 
situation in the EU will permit to draw a clear and quantitative picture of this impact and of 
the current trends. 

The economic influence is limited. However, this proposal may contribute to supply a clearer 
picture on energy imports and exports as well as on production and consumption by type of 
fuel. 

3) 

LEGAL ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL 

3.1. 

Summary of the proposed action 

The objective of this proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council is 
to establish a common framework for the collection and compilation of Community statistics 
on energy production, imports and exports, transformation and consumption. This framework 
makes extensive use of the existing data collection and also of the cooperation at international 
level  with  other  relevant  organisations,  so  that  a  methodological  uniformity  and  data 
comparability are guaranteed. The objective is therefore not to open a new statistical domain, 
but  rather  to  provide  a  helpful  legal  basis  for  an  existing,  quite  important  effort  of  making 
reliable data available in a timely manner for Community policy on energy. 

3.2. 

Legal basis 

Article 285 of  the Treaty  establishing the European Community provides the legal basis for 
Community statistics. The Council, acting in accordance with the codecision procedure, shall 
adopt  measures  for  the  production  of  statistics  where  necessary  for  the  performance  of  the 
activities of the Community. This Article sets out requirements relating to the production of 
Community  statistics  and  requires  conformity  to  standards  of  impartiality,  reliability, 
objectivity, scientific independence, cost-effectiveness and statistical confidentiality. 

3.3. 

Subsidiarity principle  

Since the objectives of the proposed action, namely establishing a common framework for the 
production, transmission, evaluation and dissemination of comparable energy statistics in the 

EN 

4 

   EN 

 
Community cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better 
achieved  at  Community  level  on  the  basis  of  a  Community  legal  act  because  only  the 
Commission  can  coordinate  the  necessary  harmonisation  of  statistical  information  at 
Community  level,  while  the  collection  of  data  and  compilation  of  comparable  statistics  on 
energy  can  be  organised  by  the  Member  Sates,  the  Community  may  adopt  measures,  in 
accordance with the principle of subsidiary as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty. 

3.4. 

Proportionality principle 

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reason(s). 

In  accordance  with  the  principle  of  proportionality  this  Regulation  confines  itself  to  the 
minimum required to achieve this objective and does not go beyond what is necessary for that 
purpose. This Regulation does not legislate the data collection mechanisms for each Member 
State; it merely defines the energy data to be supplied in a harmonised structure and timing. 

There  is  no  obligation  for  the  Member  States  to  make  any  changes  in  their  administrative 
systems  related  to  the  production  of  energy  statistics.  No  new  items  are  proposed  for  data 
collection in this Regulation beyond what is already being undertaken on a voluntary basis at 
EU level. 

It is appreciated that the legislation may, for some Member States, imply some developments 
or additions to their existing energy statistics systems. Eurostat will continue to work closely 
with  the  competent  national  authorities  and  will  seek  to  minimise  any  potential  difficulties 
caused by the implementation of this Regulation. 

3.5. 

Choice of instruments 

Proposed instruments: regulation. 

Other means would not be adequate for the following reason(s). 

In taking into account the particular characteristics of each type of legislative act as described 
in Article 249 of the EC Treaty, it may be suggested that Regulations are the most appropriate 
tool for the production of Community Statistics. 

In  fact,  almost  all  the  requirements  of  statistics  need  direct  and  immediate  execution  in 
Member States. They generally concern specifically identified statistical units in the Member 
States,  the  objective  being  clear  and  immediately  applicable  and  all  the  elements  to  be 
surveyed being specified in the act together with methodology, timing and periodicity. As such 
they are not in general dependant on national measures for harmonisation. National authorities, 
being concerned by the measures, simply have to apply them. 

4) 

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION 

The proposal has no implication for the Community budget.

on energy statistics 

(Text with EEA relevance) 

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 
285(1) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission1, 

Acting in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 251 of the Treaty2, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

The  Community  needs  to  have  precise  and  timely  data  on  energy  quantities,  their 
forms,  sources,  generation,  supply,  transformation  and  consumption,  for  the  purpose 
of monitoring the impact and consequences of its policy work on energy. 

Availability of accurate and up-to-date information on energy is essential for assessing 
the impact of energy consumption on the environment, in particular in relation to the 
emission  of  greenhouse  gasses;  this  information  is  required  by  the  Decision  No 
280/2004/EC  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  11  February  2004 
concerning a mechanism for monitoring Community greenhouse gas emissions and for 
implementing the Kyoto Protocol3. 

Directive 2001/77/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 September 
2001 on the promotion of electricity produced from renewable energy sources in the 
internal  electricity  market4  and  Directive  2004/8/EC  of  the  European  Parliament  and 
of  the  Council  of  11  February  2004  on  the  promotion  of  cogeneration  based  on  a 
useful heat demand in the internal energy market and amending Directive 92/42/EEC5 
require  Member  States  to  report  quantitative  energy  data.  To  follow  the  evolution 
towards these objectives, detailed and uptodate energy data are required.

European  Strategy  for  Sustainable,  Competitive  and  Secure  Energy  lay  down  EU 
energy policies for which the availability of EU energy statistics are required (among 
others, for the purpose of establishing a European Supply Observatory). 

The liberalisation of the energy market makes it increasingly difficult to obtain reliable 
and timely energy data in the absence of a legal basis concerning the provision of such 
data. 

It  is  essential  that  a  system  of  statistics  relating  to  energy  can  adapt  flexibly  to  a 
situation that is expected to evolve in the future. 

The  production  of  Community  statistics  is  governed  by  the  rules  set  out  in  Council 
Regulation (EC) No 322/97 of 17 February 1997 on Community Statistics6. 

Since the objectives of this Regulation, namely establishing a common framework for 
the  production,  transmission,  evaluation  and  dissemination  of  comparable  energy 
statistics in the Community cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and 
can  therefore  be  better  achieved  at  Community  level,  the  Community  may  adopt 
measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the 
Treaty. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, 
this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve those objectives. 

In the production and dissemination of Community statistics under this Regulation, the 
national  and  Community  statistical  authorities  will  take  account  of  the  principles  set 
out in the European Statistics Code of Practice, which was adopted by the Statistical 
Programme Committee on 24 February 2005 and attached to the Recommendation of 
the Commission on the independence, integrity and accountability of the national and 
Community statistical authorities7. 

(10)  The measures necessary for the implementation of this Regulation should be adopted 
in accordance with Council Decision 1999/468/EC of 28 June 1999 laying down the 
procedures for the exercise of implementing powers conferred on the Commission8. 

(11) 

In particular, the measures of general scope designed to amend non-essential elements 
of the regulation should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure with 
scrutiny.  Other  measures  of  general  scope  applying  essential  elements  of  the 
regulation should be adopted in accordance with the regulatory procedure. 

(12) 

It is necessary to foresee that the Commission may grant exemptions or derogations to 
Member  States  from  those  parts  of  the  energy  data  collection  that  would  lead  to 
excessive burden on respondents. 

(13)  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the 
(SPC),  established  by  Council  Decision 

Statistical  Programme  Committee 
89/382/EEC of 19 June 19899.

Imports/Exports 

For geographical definitions see “Geographical Notes” section. 

Unless  specified  differently,  "imports"  refer  to  ultimate  origin  (the  country  in  which  the 
energy product was produced) for use in the country and "exports" to the ultimate country of 
consumption of the produced energy product. 

Amounts  are  considered  as  imported  or  exported  when  they  have  crossed  the  political 
boundaries of the country, whether customs clearance has taken place or not. 

Where no origin or destination can be reported ‘Other’ may be used. 

Statistical  differences  may  arise  if  only  total  import  and  export  are  available  on  the  above 
basis, while the geographical breakdown is based on a different survey, source or concept. In 
this case, differences shall be included under ‘Other’.

modalities for the annual collection of energy statistics. 

Annex A applies for explanations to terms, for which a specific explanation is not supplied in 
this annex. 

1. SOLID FOSSIL FUELS AND MANUFACTURED GASES 

1.1. APPLICABLE ENERGY PRODUCTS 

Unless otherwise specified this data collection applies to all of the following energy products: 

Energy 
Product 

1  Anthracite 

Definition 

High  rank  coal  used  for  industrial  and  residential  applications.  It  has 
generally  less  than  10%  volatile  matter  and  a  high  carbon  content 
(about  90%  fixed  carbon).  Its  gross  calorific  value  is  greater  than 
23 865 kJ/kg (5 700 kcal/kg) on an ash-free but moist basis. 

2  Coking Coal 

Bituminous  coal  with  a  quality  that  allows  the  production  of  a  coke 
suitable  to  support  a  blast  furnace  charge.  Its  gross  calorific  value  is 
greater  than  23  865  kJ/kg  (5  700  kcal/kg)  on  an  ash-free  but  moist 
basis. 

3  Other 

Bituminous 
Coal 
(Steam coal) 

Coal used for steam raising purposes and includes all bituminous coal 
that is not included under coking coal nor anthracite. It is characterized 
by  higher  volatile  matter  than  anthracite  (more  than  10%)  and  lower 
carbon content (less than 90% fixed carbon). Its gross calorific value is 
greater  than  23  865  kJ/kg  (5  700  kcal/kg)  on  an  ash-free  but  moist 
basis. If bituminous coal is used in coke ovens it should be reported as 
coking coal. 

4  Sub-

Bituminous 
Coal 

Refers to non-agglomerating coal with a gross calorific value between 
17  435  kJ/kg  (4  165  kcal/kg)  and  23  865  kJ/kg  (5  700  kcal/kg) 
containing more than 31% volatile matter on a dry mineral matter free 
basis. 

5  Lignite/Brown 

Coal 

Non-agglomerating  coal  with  a  gross  calorific  value  less  than  17  435 
kJ/kg  (4  165  kcal/kg)  and  greater  than  31%  volatile  matter  on  a  dry 
mineral matter free basis. 

Oil  shale  and  tar  sands  produced  and  combusted  directly  should  be 
reported  in  this  category.  Oil  shale  and  tar  sands  used  as  inputs  for 
other transformation processes should also be reported in this category. 

This includes the portion of the oil shale or tar sands consumed in the 
transformation  process.  Shale  oil  and  other  products  derived  from 
liquefaction should be reported on the Annual Oil Questionnaire.

6  Peat 

7  Patent Fuel 

8  Coke Oven 

Coke 

A  combustible  soft,  porous  or  compressed,  fossil  sedimentary  deposit 
of  plant  origin  with  high  water  content  (up  to  90%  in  the  raw  state), 
easily  cut,  of  light  to  dark  brown  colour.  Peat  used  for  non-energy 
purposes is not included. 

A composition fuel manufactured from hard coal fines with the addition 
of a binding agent. The amount of patent fuel produced may, therefore, 
be  slightly  higher  than  the  actual  amount  of  coal  consumed  in  the 
transformation process. 

The  solid  product  obtained  from  carbonization  of  coal,  principally 
coking  coal,  at  high  temperature,  it  is  low  in  moisture  and  volatile 
matter.  Coke  oven  coke  is  used  mainly  in  the  iron  and  steel  industry 
acting as energy source and chemical agent. Coke breeze and foundry 
coke are included in this category. 

Semi-coke (a solid product obtained from carbonization of coal at low 
temperature) should be included in this category. Semi-coke is used as 
a domestic fuel or by the transformation plant itself. This heading also 
includes  coke,  coke  breeze  and  semi-coke  made  from  lignite/brown 
coal. 

9  Gas Coke 

By-product of hard coal used for production of town gas in gas works. 
Gas Coke is used for heating purposes. 

10  Coal Tar 

A result of the destructive distillation of bituminous coal. Coal tar is the 
liquid  by-product  of  the  distillation  of  coal  to  make  coke  in  the  coke 
oven process or it is produced from brown coal ("low-temperature tar"). 
Coal  tar  can  be  further  distilled  into  different  organic  products  (e.g. 
benzene, toluene, naphthalene), which normally would be reported as a 
feedstock to the petrochemical industry. 

11  BKB 

(Brown Coal 
Briquettes) 

BKB  is  a  composition  fuel  manufactured  from  lignite/brown  coal, 
produced  by  briquetting  under  high  pressure  without  the  addition  of  a 
binding agent. These figures include peat briquettes, dried lignite fines 
and dust. 

12  Gas Works 

Gas 

Covers  all  types  of  gases  produced  in  public  utility  or  private  plants, 
whose main purpose is manufacture, transport and distribution of gas. It 
includes  gas  produced  by  carbonization  (including  gas  produced  by 
coke ovens and transferred to gas works gas), by total gasification with 
or  without  enrichment  with  oil  products  (LPG,  residual  fuel  oil,  etc.), 
and by reforming and simple mixing of gases and/or air, reported under 
the  rows  "From  Other  Sources".  Under  the  transformation  sector 
identify  amounts  of  gas  work  gas  transferred  to  blended  natural  gas 
which will be distributed and consumed through the natural gas grid. 

The production of other coal gases (i.e. coke oven gas, blast furnace gas 
and  oxygen  steel  furnace  gas)  should  be  reported  in  the  columns 
concerning  such  gases,  and  not  as  production  of  gas  works  gas.  The 

EN 

23 

   EN 

 
coal  gases  transferred  to  gas  works  plants  should  then  be  reported  (in 
their own column) in the transformation sector in the gas works plants 
row. The total amount of gas works gas resulting from transfers of other 
coal gases should appear in the production line for gas works gas. 

13  Coke Oven 

Gas 

Obtained as a by-product of the manufacture of coke oven coke for the 
production of iron and steel.  

14  Blast Furnace 

Gas 

Produced  during  the  combustion  of  coke  in  blast  furnaces  in  the  iron 
and  steel  industry.  It  is recovered  and  used  as  a  fuel  partly  within  the 
plant  and  partly  in  other  steel  industry  processes  or  in  power  stations 
equipped to burn it. The quantity of fuel should be reported on a gross 
calorific value basis. 

15  Oxygen Steel 
Furnace Gas 

By-product of the production of steel in an oxygen furnace, recovered 
on leaving the furnace. The gas is also known as converter gas, LD gas 
or BOS gas.  

16  Hard coal 

The term “hard coal” refers to coal of gross calorific value greater than 
23 865 kJ/kg  (5 700 kcal/kg)  on an  ashfree but  moist  basis and with a 
mean  random  reflectance  of  vitrinite  of  at  least  0.6.  Hard  coal 
comprises all energy products from 1 to 3 together (anthracite, coking 
Coal and other Bituminous Coal).

generating sets concerned (including pumped storage) measured at the output terminals of 
the main generators. 

–  Gross  Heat  Production:  the  total  heat  produced  by  the  installation  and  includes  the  heat 
used  by  the  installation’s  auxiliaries  which  use  a  hot  fluid  (space  heating,  liquid  fuel 
heating  etc)  and  losses  in  the  installation/network  heat  exchanges,  as  well  as  heat  from 
chemical processes used as a primary energy form. 

–  Net  Electricity  Production:  the  gross  electricity  production  less  the  electrical  energy 
absorbed by the generating auxiliaries and the losses in the main generator transformers.

Energy 
Product 

1  Crude Oil 

Definition 

Crude  oil  is  a  mineral  oil  of  natural  origin  comprising  a  mixture  of 
hydrocarbons and associated impurities, such as sulphur. It exists in 
the liquid phase under normal surface temperature and pressure and 
its  physical  characteristics  (density,  viscosity,  etc.)  are  highly 
variable.  This category includes field or lease condensate recovered 
from associated and non-associated gas where it is commingled with 

EN 

52 

   EN 

 
 
 
2  NGL 

3  Refinery 

Feedstocks 

the commercial crude oil stream. 

NGL are liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons recovered from natural gas 
in  separation  facilities  or  gas  processing  plants.  Natural  gas  liquids 
include ethane, propane, butane (normal and iso-), (iso) pentane and 
pentanes  plus  (sometimes  referred  to  as  natural  gasoline  or  plant 
condensate). 

A refinery feedstock is a processed oil destined for further processing 
(e.g.  straight  run  fuel  oil  or  vacuum  gas  oil)  excluding  blending. 
With  further  processing,  it  will  be  transformed  into  one  or  more 
components  and/or  finished  products.  This  definition  also  covers 
returns from the petrochemical industry to the refining industry (e.g. 
pyrolysis gasoline, C4 fractions, gasoil and fuel oil fractions). 

4  Additives/ 

Oxygenates 

Additives are non-hydrocarbon compounds added to or blended with 
a  product  to  modify  fuel  properties (octane, cetane, cold properties, 
etc.): 

•  oxygenates,  such  as  alcohols  (methanol,  ethanol),  ethers  (such  as 
MTBE  (methyl  tertiary  butyl  ether),  ETBE  (ethyl  tertiary  butyl 
ether), TAME (tertiary amyl methyl ether)); 

• esters (e.g. rapeseed or dimethylester, etc.); 

• chemical compounds (such as TML, TEL and detergents). 

Note: Quantities of additives/oxygenates (alcohols, ethers, esters and 
other chemical compounds) reported in this category should relate to 
the quantities destined for blending with fuels or for fuel use. 

4.1  Of Which: 

Biofuels 

Biogasoline and Biodiesels. The definitions of Chapter 5, Renewable 
Energy and Energy from Waste, apply. 

Quantities  of  liquid  biofuels  reported  in  this  category  relate  to  the 
biofuel and not to the total volume of liquids into which the biofuels 
are blended. 

Excludes  all  trade  of  biofuels  which  have  not  been  blended  with 
transport  fuels  (i.e.  in  their  pure  form);  these  should  be  reported  as 
per Chapter 5. The biofuels traded as part of transport fuels should be 
reported in the appropriate product indicating the biofuel portion. 

5  Other Hydro-
carbons 

Synthetic  crude  oil  from  tar  sands,  shale  oil,  etc.,  liquids  from  coal 
liquefaction,  (see  Chapter 1),  output  of  liquids  from  natural  gas 
conversion  into  gasoline  (see  Chapter 2),  hydrogen  and  emulsified 
oils (e.g. Orimulsion). 

Excludes oil shale production, for which Chapter 1 applies.

6  Refinery Gas 

(not 
liquefied) 

Refinery  gas  includes  a  mixture  of  non-condensible  gases  mainly 
consisting of hydrogen, methane, ethane and olefins obtained during 
distillation of crude oil or treatment of oil products (e.g. cracking) in 
refineries.  This  also  includes  gases  which  are  returned  from  the 
petrochemical industry. 

7  Ethane 

8  LPG

from natural gas and refinery gas streams. 

LPG  are  light  paraffinic  hydrocarbons  derived  from  the  refinery 
processes,  crude  oil  stabilisation  and  natural  gas  processing  plants. 
They  consist  mainly  of  propane  (C3H8)  and  butane  (C4Hl0)  or  a 
combination of the two. They could also include propylene, butylene, 
isopropylene  and  isobutylene.  LPG  are  normally  liquefied  under 
pressure for transportation and storage. 

9  Naphtha

Energy available as heat emitted from within the earth’s crust, usually 
in  the  form  of  hot  water  or  steam.  This  energy  production  is  the 
difference between the enthalpy of the fluid produced in the production 
borehole and that of the fluid eventually disposed of. It is exploited at 
suitable sites: 
• 

for  electricity  generation  using  dry  steam  or  high  enthalpy  brine 
after flashing 

•  directly as heat for district heating, agriculture etc. 

Solar  radiation  exploited  for  hot  water  production  and  electricity 
generation.  This  energy  production  is  the  heat  available  to  the  heat 
transfer  medium,  i.e.  the  incident  solar  energy  less  the  optical  and 
collectors  losses.  Passive  solar  energy  for  the  direct  heating,  cooling 
and lighting of dwellings or other buildings is not included.
