Case 1
Case 2
Case 3 The typical auto-producer
Recommendation in F29:
”Auto-generation of electricity from purchased fuels, with or
without the joint production of heat, should be treated as part
of the transformation sector.”
Case 4 Production unit’s own power plant
Suggestion:
”Auto-generation of electricity from industrial establishment’s
own power plants, with or without the joint production of heat,
should be treated as part of the energy sector.”
Conclusion
• Auto-production
– Cases where energy produced or transformed in a unit that does not
have energy production or transformation as its main activity is sold
to users outside the unit in question
• Increased energy efficiency
– Regeneration of energy internally in an industrial process, for the
units own use, is not auto-production but increased energy efficiency
in the unit
• Energy output from auto-producers is an important part of
the energy flow in a country.
• Data collection should include data from auto-production as
part of energy statistics regardless of the main activity of the
unit in question.
