Session 4: Renewable energy sources Session 4: Renewable energy sources statisticsstatistics
United Nations Statistics Division
International Workshop on Energy Statistics
24-26 September 2012, Beijing, China
Renewable energy sourcesRenewable energy sources
Important because:
• They address many environmental issues
• Reduce the dependency on fossil fuels
• A number of targets are set at national and international level on the use of renewable energy

Measurement unitsMeasurement units
Fuelwood can be measured in
in volume (stack cubic metres or solid volume)
or
in mass (dry or wet basis)
Important to know the units as they calorific values are different
IRESIRES
No specific measurement units are recommended for national data collection (most suitable for the circumstance)
However, certain units are recommended for dissemination. In particular,
Fuelwood -> cubic metres
Solid fuels -> Metric Tons
Gases -> Terajoules
Waste -> Terajoules
Data itemsData items
They reflect data collected from statistical units

Products currently covered:• Fuelwood• Charcoal• Bagasse• Pulp and paper• Vegetable waste• Other biomass and waste• Biogasoline• Biodiesel• Biogas• Municipal Waste• Industrial Waste
Common problemsCommon problems
• Data on renewables are often hard to collect
• Consumption data are often missing
• Transformation into charcoal production is often not reported
We collect statistics through the Annual Energy Statistics Questionnaires
They are then published in two publications and in the Energy statistics database (1950 – present)
