Abstract:
Energy data are compiled to help analyse the development of energy use indifferent countries and the OECD as a whole. The analysis has been directed
mainly at the energy use in relation to GDP (gross domestic product) and at
the fuel mix. In 1996 the IEA has forwarded a proposal to the representatives
of the countries, called 'Minimum Set of Energy Use Indicators. Better energy
data and trend analysis; a proposal for the program of work' The proposal is
directed at a further analysis of indicators on a sectoral level, with
emphasis on the comparability between OECD countries. A number of countries
has been asked to deliver the set of indicators (presented in Appendix 1) to
the IEA project team and to participate in the discussion of the results at a
workshop at the end of 1996. In 1997 an IEA publication on the results of the
project should be available. This document, produced by ECN Policy Studies on
request of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs (DGE/EA), contains the
first contribution of the Netherlands to the IEA project on indicators. The
work has been done in close collaboration with the Department of Science,
Technology and Society of Utrecht University (NWS-UU). The results are
presented in four chapters for the sectors manufacturing, services,
households, and transportation. Wherever possible statistical information has
been collected for the period 1980-1995. In every chapter information is
given about the way the results were collected (definitions, sources of
information, climate corrections, etc.). With regard to the proposed
discussion at the workshop, a number of remarks have been made about the
problems of collecting data and the interpretation of the results. Chapter 6
consists of a more general discussion of the meaning and usefulness of the
set of indicators. 2 figs., 16 tabs., 33 refs.
