Learn the importance of SEEA-Energy in improving statistical quality, providing coherent time series data, and integrating basic statistics for better policy-making. Discover how SEEA-Energy enhances efficiency with accounting principles, consistency, and provides a basis for economic analysis and emissions accounts.

Why an accounting approach? Provides added value: Integrates basic statistics from different sources and links it with other types of statistics Improves statistical quality by guaranteeing consistency (checks and balances) Provides policy-makers with coherent time series of data, indicators and descriptive statistics for scenario modeling Implicitly defines ownership and hence responsibility for environmental impacts policy relevance SEEA-Energy IRES Inter-linkages - underlying causes 3
Why SEEA-Energy? Indicators: - Intensity/productivity indicators - Decoupling indicators - Energy dependency from imports Input-output analysis: - Decomposition analysis - Embedded carbon in products Accounts: - Part of integrated framework comparison macro-economic parameters, international comparibility etc. - Link physical data with economic data: taxes, subsidies - Produce data for National Accounts - Compilation of air emission accounts
Integration of energy statistics, balances and accounts Basic data Energy balances Price information Production accounts Simplified physical supply and use tables Monetary supply and use tables National Accounts Energy accounts (physical and monetary)
Use and usefulness of SEEA-Energy • Low cost extension of energy statistics and balances • Complete and coherent presentation of energy issues with focus on economic activities • Accounting principles with cheks and balances leads to completeness and improved quality • Consistency across time and countries • Basis for economic-energy analysis and modelling • Basis for (SEEA-) emissions accounts • Basis for consistent indicators
Main areas of SEEA-Energy • Stock accounts (asset accounts) in physical and monetary units • Flow accounts in the form of supply and use tables for energy products in physical and monetary units • Hybrid accounts combining physical and monetary accounts • Monetary 2008 SNA type accounts for economic activities and transfers related specifically to energy extraction, energy production and energy use • Applications of the energy accounts

Differences between accounts and balances • Conceptual • Territory vs. Residence (important only for some countries) • Follows national accounts structure including ISIC, CPC/SIEC • Losses • Statistical difference • Terminology • Supply, final demand, stocks, etc. • Presentation • By economic activities • Physical and monetary (and hybrid) But - We should focus on the links between the SEEA-Energy and the data items
IRES Chapter 11- what next? • Revise the chapter to reflect the changes in SEEA-Energy (e.g. emission accounts no longer included) • Add a section on the usefulness of the SEEA-Energy • Terminology – explain difference in terminology with the balances and why it should be maintained • Data items • Taxes on production and products (need both) • Monetary data items on production, consumption, export and imports • Add text saying that the accounts should be ideally compiled from the basic data rather than from the balances • Add Annex explaing the links between the data items and standard tables
SEEA-Energy - What next? So far: • Part of UNSD work programme • The main part of the drafting has been done but needs to: • Reflect changes made in IRES, in particular SIEC • Harmonize classification of resources and SIEC? • Issue: monetary and physical flow may use different classifications Remaining work: • Finish drafting (end December 2010) • Expert Group Meeting on Energy Accounts and Statistics (Jan 2011) • World-wide consultation (Feb. – March 2011) • Adoption by the UN Statistical Commission Implementation in countries!
