Share of fuels in final energy consumption is a descriptive indicator for the energy used by selected final consumers of energy (end-users). It allows an easy overview of shares for individual fuels.

Share of fuels in final energy consumption is calculated as ratio between respective fuel and the total of all fuels. The indicator is expressed as percentage, thus numerically the ratio is multiplied by 100. 

Souce dataset: Simplified energy balances (nrg_bal_s)

Numerator: one of the following fuels

• [C0000X0350-0370] Solid fossil fuels
• [G3000] Natural gas
• [O4000XBIO] Oil and petroleum products (excluding biofuel portion)
• [RA000] Renewables and biofuels
• [E7000] Electricity
• [H8000] Heat
• [X9900] Other fuels n.e.c.

Denominator: total of all fuels

• [TOTAL] Total

Calclated for energy balance flows:

• [FC_E] Final consumption - energy use
• [FC_IND_E] Final consumption - industry sector - energy use
• [FC_TRA_E] Final consumption - transport sector - energy use
• [FC_OTH_CP_E] Final consumption - other sectors - commercial and public services - energy use
• [FC_OTH_HH_E] Final consumption - other sectors - households - energy use

 [PC] Percentage

The calendar year (January - December)

The indicator is produced according to the high-level quality standards of European Statistical System. While indirect indicators suggest overall accuracy of energy balance should be in general high, quantitative assessment of accuracy was not performed by Eurostat. Please see Related metadata for details on accuracy of the source datasets used to calculate this indicator.

Every year

Revisions several time per year are possible.

T+2 years

All EU MS

Data are presented for all EU Member States and several non-EU countries.

All EU MS

Data are comparable between all EU Member States and between other presented countries.

> 10 years

All  EU Member States have long time series; for some non-EU countries time series are shorter.

> 4 data points

Comparability over time is ensured with a solid methodology harmonised on international level that is stable over long periods. Occasional breaks in time series are present due to the developments of statistical systems on national level and the level of detailed information (micro data) available at national level.

In general comparability is very high in last 10 years and for older periods slowly decreasing. In addition, introduction of new statistical information in the most recent data collections can lead to breaks in series until information is compiled and provided by reporting countries.
