Energy consumption decomposition analysis on EU-27 and EU-27 members – 2023 edition

Decomposition energy efficiency: Paving the road to sustainability using energy monitoring

The imperative of monitoring energy consumption is clear. Decomposition analysis stands out as a crucial method, allowing us to distinguish real energy efficiency gains from other external factors.

The project achieves several goals, by shedding light on and facilitating the analysis of decomposed energy consumption. Firstly, this report outlines a comprehensive methodology for future decomposition analysis, including how to choose appropriate datasets. Secondly, it examines the factors affecting energy consumption in various sectors within each EU-27 nation and the EU-27 as a whole, enabling comparisons of energy use between countries. In doing so, it also tackles potential data challenges, thus shaping future energy data policies.

The findings offer significant contributions to the fields of national statistics, methodological applications, and energy data analysis.
