3.1. Data description | |||
Physical energy flow accounts (PEFA) is one module of the European environmental-economic accounts - Regulation (EU) 691/2011 Annex VI. PEFA record the flows of energy (in terajoules) from the environment to the economy (natural inputs), within the economy (products), and from the economy back to the environment (residuals), using the accounting framework of physical supply and use tables. PEFA provide information on energy flows arranged in a way fully compatible with concepts, principles, and classifications of national accounts – thus enabling integrated analyses of environmental, energy and economic issues e.g. through environmental-economic modelling. PEFA complement the traditional energy statistics, balances and derived indicators which are the main reference data source for EU energy policies.
The PEFA questionnaire is available on Eurostat's website: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/web/environment/methodology |
|||
3.2. Classification system | |||
Physical energy flow accounts (PEFA) datasets have the following dimensions:
|
|||
3.3. Coverage - sector | |||
The data set covers the entire national economy as defined in national accounts (ESA 2010, paragraph 2.04), as well as its physical relation to economies in the rest of the world and the environment.
|
|||
3.4. Statistical concepts and definitions | |||
Physical energy flow accounts (PEFA) are conceptually rooted in the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) which is an international statistical standard. The SEEA central framework provides standard concepts, definitions, classifications, accounting rules and tables for the provision of statistics on the environment and its relationship with the economy. |
|||
3.5. Statistical unit | |||
Data refer to activities of resident economic units in the sense of SEEA CF 2012 and national accounts (ESA), including households. |
|||
3.6. Statistical population | |||
The national economy is as defined in SEEA CF 2012 and national accounts (ESA); i.e. all economic activities undertaken by resident units (see ESA 2010, paragraph 2.04). A unit is said to be a resident unit of a country when it has a centre of economic interest in the economic territory of that country, that is, when it engages for an extended period (1 year or more) in economic activities in that territory. |
|||
3.7. Reference area | |||
All the reported value for residence and territory principles and the associated bridging items covers Metropolitan France and overseas departments : |
|||
3.8. Coverage - Time | |||

|
|||
6.1. Institutional Mandate - legal acts and other agreements | |||
PEFA are legally covered by Regulation (EC) No. 691/2011 on European environmental economic accounts as amended by Regulation (EU) No. 538/2014. EEEA currently include six modules (air emissions accounts, environmentally related taxes by economic activity, economy-wide material flow accounts, environmental protection expenditure accounts, environmental goods and services sector accounts, and physical energy flow accounts). |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.1. Coherence - sub annual and annual statistics | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Not applicable; reported PEFA data are only annual. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.2. Coherence - National Accounts | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Insee (French public statistics agency) has started doing comparisons between PEFA fuel breakdowns and intermediate consumptions in National Accounts. France does a monetary energy balance consistent with the physical energy balance. There is an ongoing project to further use PEFA fuel breakdowns and monetary energy balances to produce series in National Accounts. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.3. Do you cooperate with national colleagues compiling AEA? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yes. A long-term work is done with the team responsible for the AEA reporting, in order to improve consistency between the two reportings. As the two accounts rely at some stages on different sources, full consistency is not at stake. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.4. Are there compilation elements that PEFA compilers jointly undertake with AEA compilers (e.g. distribution of road transport fuel use and emissions by NACE)? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We use the same data for the allocation of road transport energy and the residence principle. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.5. Do you report in PEFA imports and exports according to the SEEA-CF concepts for trade in goods (see SEEA-CF section 3.3.3, paras. 3.121 ff., and para. 1.46)? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.6. Do you perform cross-domain plausibility checks between your PEFA data on air transport versus OECD's data on CO2-emissions of air transport? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.7. Do you perform cross-domain plausibility checks between PEFA data points and corresponding data points in energy statistics (see PEFA validation rules)? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We aim to have consistency between all energy related statistical production: energy balances, PEFA, AEA... |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.3.8. Do you perform cross-domain plausibility checks between PEFA data points and the corresponding data points in economy-wide material flow accounts (EW-MFA) (see PEFA validation rules)? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
15.4. Coherence - internal | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Eurostat's validation procedures should ensure full internal consistency, at least for the mandatory data points. |

|||
18.1.5. Which auxiliary data do you use to develop 'distribution keys' to assign energy use to the detailed breakdown of production activities (NACE 2-digit divisions) and categories of household consumption? | |||
Default NACE breakdown data have been used, except for:
The structure is extended to the scope of NACE C33 to NACE E39, for the following products :
- Table Z05_INONSPEC (Industry detailing - Energy and non-energy use in the industry sector (non-specified)): French structure is available and has been integrated for Natural gas, Electricity, Heat, Renewables and main oil products. Source: same as annual energy questionnaires. |
|||
18.1.6. Do you use the PEFA builder? If yes: for populating the PEFA Tables, or for control only? | |||
Yes, for populating the PEFA tables. |
|||
18.1.7. Which data sources do you use to make adjustments for the residence principle? | |||
Residence principle has been applied for water, air and road transportation, in accordance with Air Emissions Accounts. However, a default split between EU and Non-EU countries has been used: 100% - 0% for road transportation, and 50% - 50% for water and air transportation. Main sources: “Compte des transports de la nation”, Eurostat RFT, Balance of payments. |
