Although the term energy refers strictly to heat and power, it is often used to include fuels, defined as substances burned as a source of energy. Energy commodities, like energy vectors or energy carriers, are used as synonyms and refer both to energy (as heat or power) and to fuels. Primary fuels are either extracted or captured directly from natural resources, whilst secondary energy sources may result either from the transformation of energy or be produced from primary fuels. Electricity generation may result from energy transformation either from a primary or a secondary source. (Manual of Energy Statistics).
Final energy consumption includes energy consumed by end users, excluding the energy sector.
This chart shows final energy consumption by industry sector, and transformation of fuels by the energy transformation sector, rather than industrial consumption, which is excluded.
The direction of the triangles on the map shows change in consumption of the four main types of fuel 2013-2003. Triangle size indicates change magnitude (more or less than 50%).
Overall EU industry consumption fell In the map from 333 to 277 million tonnes of oil equivalent (Mtoe). Cyprus and Romania saw the largest reductions, and only Austria (19%), Lithuania (8.3%), Malta (2.9%) and Germany (2.6%) reported increases.
