Abstract
This chapter introduces the industries of the energy sector and presents the basic concepts related to energy. It also introduces the energy accounting framework that provides a consistent basis for energy-related information for statistical analysis. The chapter discusses the data-related issues and indicates how the information presented in the energy balances can be used to understand the energy situation of a country/region. The chapter will enable the reader to understand alternative forms of energies, the energy accounting framework for economic and policy analyses, and various ratios that are used to describe the energy situation of a country/region.

Annex 2.1: Worked Out Examples
Annex 2.1: Worked Out Examples
Example 1
Table 2.12 provides information on indigenous production of energy of a country in 2009. Present the information in ktoe and PJ.
Answer (see Table 2.13)
Example 2
The refinery input and output are given in Table 2.14. Present the information in a common unit (ktoe).
Answer (see Table 2.15)
Example 3: Energy balance preparation
A small island country does not have any natural resources for energy production. It depends mostly on imported crude oil for its energy needs. Some natural gas is also imported and is used for power generation only. The details are given below for 2008.
Crude oil imported: 52Â Mtoe; Gas imported: 1.2Â Mtoe.
Import of Petroleum products: 21Â Mtoe; Export of petroleum products: 46.4Â Mtoe.
The following are uses of petroleum products (Mtoe) in the country:
Road transport 1;
International transport 16.7, and
Industry 5.
The details of electricity production and use are given in Table 2.16.
Based on the given information, prepare the overall energy balance of the country for the year 2000. Show only those rows and columns, which are relevant for this case.
Answer (Table 2.17 provides the results)
