Table explanation
This table shows the supply and the consumption of natural gas as a balance sheet. The supply of natural gas is calculated as the sum of indigenous production, production from other sources, imports minus exports, minus delivery of fuels for international shipping (bunkers) plus stock changes. The supply is equal to the amount of natural gas used in the Netherlands in the same period.
This consumption includes the delivery of natural gas to energy companies. This is sector D from the Standard Industrial Classification (SBI). In addition, a small amount of natural gas is used in the indigenous production and transportation of natural gas. Lastly, there is flared and vented natural gas.
Data available:
From 2015 annually, quarterly, and monthly.
Status of the figures:
- up to and including 2022 definite.
- 2023 and 2024 are revised provisional.
- 2025 is provisional.
Changes as of June 18th 2025:
None, this table has been discontinued. The successor of this table is 'Natural gas balance sheet; supply and consumption'. See section 3.
When will new figures be published?

Description topics
- Consumption of natural gas
- The amount of natural gas delivered to the consumers in the Netherlands.
- Total consumption
- The amount of natural gas used by companies, households and transport in the Netherlands.
- Via regional grids
- Delivery of natural gas through the regional gas distribution networks directly to the final consumers. These are the small-scale consumers, including households.
- Consumption by production and transport
- The consumption of natural gas by extraction companies at the gas extraction sites to support the extraction process and by distribution companies for the transport of natural gas.
