Transcript Chapter 2 Scope of Energy Statistics

IRES, Chapter 2
Scope of Energy Statistics
Vladimir Markhonko
United Nations Statistics Division
The Oslo Group on Energy Statistics
Fifth meeting, Cork, Ireland, 1-4 February 2010
1
The conclusions of OG3
• Scope of official energy statistics and scope of IRES are
differentiated (energy accounts are not covered in IRES
while energy accounts are seen as part of official energy
statistics);
• IRES to focus on basic energy statistics and energy balances
as well as on related issues such as data compilation, data
quality, data dissemination;
• Good practices and technical matters to be
described/discussed in ESCM and are out of scope of IRES;
• OG to decide on boundary between IRES and ESCM;
• A separate chapter on bridging with energy accounts needed.

The conclusions of OG4:
- not necessary to include a detailed physical
description of energy
- in general agreed to include energy prices in the
scope of IRES
- reserves/resources to be excluded from the
scope of IRES
* no conclusion on definition of energy
sector/industries
* no conclusion on boundary between energy and
non-energy products

The conclusions of the 2st
virtual meeting
• Scope of official energy statistics and scope of IRES is the
same (?, see OG4 conclusions);
• Data items to cover those needed for energy accounts as well
(?; see OG3 and OG4 conclusions);
• IRES and energy reserves – a need for another look?
• Review use of the terms “energy sector” and “energy
product”,
“infinite” and “cyclical” renewables
• Energy production to include production outside energy
industries

Overview of the chapter
The chapter focuses on the following topics:
Energy and its forms
Energy in statistical context (paras. 2.2 and 2.3 define scope of IRES)
Energy resources and energy reserves
Boundary of energy products
Production boundary in energy statistics
Reference territory
Energy industries
Statistics on energy industries
Final energy consumers
5
Some remaining issues
 Scope of IRES and scope of official energy
statistics (clarification of boundary)
 Treatment of energy reserves (where in IRES?
Chapter 6 and 11?; special data collection
arrangements?)
 IRES and energy prices (chapter 6)
 Encourage willing countries to collect
additional data needed for energy accounts

The Oslo Group is invited to:
(a) express its views on the changes
incorporated in the text and discuss the
outstanding issues
(b) review the recommendations contained in
the chapter
(c) provide any additional comments to the
chapter
