  1. Chapter 2 – Scope of energy statistics Results of the second worldwide consultation

  2. Chapter contents • Energy and energy statistics (26%) • Basic concepts and boundary issues (74%)

  3. Chapter objective: “...this chapter provides recommendations on the scope of energy statistics, discusses related concepts and boundary issues.” (2.1)

  4. A – Energy and energy statistics Energy in physical context Energy in statistical context Scope of energy statistics in IRES energy statistics encompass basic energy statistics and energy balances aiming to describe how energy products are produced by human activities within a national territory, how they enter into that territory and how they are used in it Multipurpose nature of energy statistics, data warehouse In particular, IRES covers data on energy stocks and flows selected statistics on energy producers and users (e.g., on energy infrastructure, employment and capital formation) selected data about the energy market (e.g., energy prices) statistics on underground deposits of energy resources, etc.

  5. B – Basic concepts and boundary issues • Energy products (primary and secondary) • Boundary of energy products in IRES • Explanation of concepts such as energy flows, production boundary and reference territory • Energy industries, other industries producing energy, energy consumers

  6. Result of the WWC - summary Q.1: Do you overall agree with the contents of this chapter? Q.2: Do you agree with the stated scope of energy statistics in IRES? Q.3: Do you overall agree with the description of the basic concepts and boundary issues? Q.4: Do you agree with the recommendations contained in chapter 2?

  7. WWC – comments received • 81 comments received • From the comments we have identified • 22 issues for which we need the opinion of the Expert Group; and • 10 ‘straightforward’ issues (editorial and others) for which the Expert Group is also invited to comment.

  8. Some issues raised • Overlap with other areas of statistics • Business statistics, industry statistics • Reference territory • Always “national territory”? • Grey areas • Semi-autonomous regions • Energy indicators • Especially with regard to energy efficiency

  9. Discussion A list of issues brought up by the respondents to the 2nd WWC has been prepared and presented to the Expert Group. Members of the expert group are invited to provide their opinions on the presented issues.
