About the statistics

The information under «About the statistics» was last updated 21 May 2024.

Energy use: Different energy products for fuel, lighting, heat and transport purposes during the reference year are considered as energy products in this statistics. The consumption of raw materials is not included and there is a distinction between purchased and self-produced energy. Self-produced energy includes by-products from production (i.e. firewood, black liquor or solid biomass waste), re-use of steam and electricity production in the business, among others.

Gigawatt hour (GWh) = million kWh

Terrawatt hour (TWh) = billion kWh

Due to the large number of different energy products in Norwegian mining and manufacturing, they have been divided into groups. In order to make it possible to find the total energy consumption within the individual energy groups and the total consumption for the company, we have converted all of the energy commodities to the common unit GW (billion watts). This has been done based on information on average energy content for the individual energy commodities.

The energy products have been divided into 10 groups, 7 groups for purchased energy and 3 groups for self-produced energy.

Purchased energy:

Electricity = Purchased electricity

Petroleum products = Purchased light heating oils, heavy distillates, heavy fuel oils, waste oils, kerosene and auto diesel (tax-exempt).

Gas products = Purchased LPG (liquid propane and butane gas), LNG (liquid natural gas), NGG (natural gas in gas form), fuel gas and CO-gas.

Coal products = Purchased coal, coke and petrol coke used as fuel and as a reduction agent.

Steam and district heating = Purchased district heating and steam.

Solid biomass and wastes = Purchased wood, biomass waste and other waste.

Petroleum products for transport = Purchased gasoline, auto diesel and marine gas oils.

Self-produced energy:

Electricity = Self-produced electricity

Solid biomass and wastes = Self-produced waste of wood, black liquor and other wastes.

Gas = Self-produced natural gas in gas form, fuel gas, CO-gas and other gases.

Local kind-of-activity unit: The statistics have local kind-of-activity unit as an observation unit and an analysis unit. A local kind-of-activity unit is defined as a functional unit, which at a single physical location is engaged mainly in activities within a specific activity group. An enterprise is defined as an organizational unit, and consists of one or more local kind-of-activity units.

The following guidelines are used in order to divide the activity of an enterprise into separate local kind-of-activity units; Activities engaged by an enterprise in different municipalities are treated as separate local kind-of-activity units. Activities in different industrial classes (4-digit) can be classified as separate local kind-of-activity units even if the activity is located at the same site. To divide a local unit into several local kind-of-activity units, each of the activities has to be of a certain size, normally engaging at least 5 people.

Norwegian Standard Industrial Classification (SIC2007), which is based on the industrial classifications approved by the EU (NACE Rev. 2) and the UN (ISIC Rev. 3).
