Energy balance sheet; supply and consumption, sector

The energy balance for has been revised. The key changes are: 1. Adjustments to the figures for the sectoral distribution of final energy use of diesel, ensuring better alignment with the Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (Emissieregistratie) and international energy statistics standards (for 1990-2023). 2. The availability of new data from heat suppliers has enabled the creation of a consistent time series for heat consumption in the services sector. Consequently, it is no longer necessary to record the statistical difference for heat under this sector; it is now explicitly shown (for 2015-2023). 3. Harmonization of the time series for the consumption of coke oven gas and blast furnace gas. This involves reallocating these coal-derived gases from the steel industry to blast furnace operations, effective from 2022. 4. Refinement of the figures for heavy fuel oil bunkers in 2023. The first three adjustments involve changes of, at most, a few petajoules (PJ), while the fourth adjustment amounts to just under 40 PJ.

Coal and coal products balance sheet; supply and consumption

Coal and coal products; indigenous production, imports, exports; from 1802

The figures for 2024 and 2025 have been updated, and the data for the years 1990 through 2023 have been revised. The most significant adjustment concerns the period from 1990 to 1994. Previously, data for these years were calculated using coal equivalents in kilograms, based on a calorific value of 29.3 MJ/kg. In this version, these have been adjusted to reflect actual physical quantities in kilograms, ensuring better alignment with the data from 1995 onwards. As a result of these changes, the figures for imports and consumption during this period are now approximately 11 percent higher. For the other years, the adjustments average 0.6%.

Water use within the Dutch economy; Environmental accounts

Data for 2024 have been added. The entire time series (starting from 2003) has been revised based on new data sources and improvements. Many variables that were previously unavailable have now been populated; see Chapter 4. Key changes include: the use of a new data source—customer databases from drinking water utility companies. The term "industrial water" has been changed to "other piped water" for the sake of clarity. The totals for "other piped water" now align with data from Vewin. A new breakdown-distinguishing between water used for cooling and water used for other purposes has been introduced, based on the e-MJV (electronic environmental annual report). This breakdown for "other piped water" can be provided reliably from 2022 onwards. Water used for irrigation in the agricultural sector has been reclassified under "other piped water," as this better reflects actual practice; previously, such irrigation water was categorized as surface water. Another new data source is the National Groundwater Register (Landelijk Grondwater Register), which provides greater insight into groundwater usage by the service sector.
