various international or regional organizations. The amounts of all primary energy
options, such as fossil fuel,
electricity and heat, need to be considered.
(c) Limitations of the Indicator: Data on the efficiency of energy conversion and
distribution are not readily available for some countries.
(d) Alternative Definitions/Indicators: None.
ASSESSMENT OF DATA
(a) Data Needed to Compile the Indicator: Energy commodity data for production
and use (energy balances); output and input of refineries;
gas consumption and
supplies; and structure of electricity supplies.
(b) National and International Data Availability: Energy commodity data for
production and consumption (energy balances) are regularly available for most
countries at the national level, and for some countries at the sub-national level. Both
types of data are compiled by and available from national statistical offices and
country publications.
Internationally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) and
Eurostat maintain the
most thorough sets of energy balances and energy accounts, based primarily on
national data or data collected from reliable regional agencies. Other sources of data
include the World Bank,
the United Nations, the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA), the European Environment Agency (EEA), etc.
