Renewable energy; consumption by energy source, technology and application

This table expresses the use of renewable energy as gross final consumption of energy. Figures are presented in an absolute way, as well as related to the total energy use in the Netherlands.

Renewable energy is energy from wind, hydro power, the sun, the earth, heat from outdoor air and biomass. This is energy from natural processes that is replenished constantly.

The figures are broken down into energy source/technique and into energy application (electricity, heat and transport).

This table focuses on the share of renewable energy according to the EU Renewable Energy Directive. Under this directive, countries can apply an administrative transfer by purchasing renewable energy from countries that have consumed more renewable energy than the agreed target. For 2020, the Netherlands has implemented such a transfer by purchasing renewable energy from Denmark. This transfer has been made visible in this table as a separate energy source/technique and two totals are included; a total with statistical transfer and a total without statistical transfer.

Data available from:
1990

Status of the figures:
This table contains definite figures up to and including 2020, figures of 2021 are revised provisional figures.

Changes as of February 8th 2023
The figures for co-firing of biomass in electricity plants have been updated for 2021.
After exchanges with the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO), in charge of securing the sustainability of subsidised solid biomass for electricity and heat, it has been concluded that the solid biomass used in co-firing plants was 100 % RED II compliant with respect to biomass sustainability in 2021. These results in a 14 PJ higher final energy consumption of biomass for co-firing plants than the update in December 2022 and in an increase of the share of renewable energy of 0.7 percentage point. Red II refers to the EU Renewable Energy Directive which came into force in 2021.

Changes as of December 15th 2022:
Revised provisional figures of 2021 have been added.
Only solid and gaseous biomass compliant according to REDII are used to determine the final energy consumption of these energy sources in 2021.
Figures for 2020 and before were calculated based on RED I; in accordance with Eurostat these figures will not be modified anymore. Inconsistencies with other tables undergoing updates may occur.

Changes as of June 2022:
Revised provisional figures added for 2021.
From reporting year 2021, new sustainability criteria for solid and gaseous biomass will apply in the context of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (REDII). It is currently unclear whether all biomass consumed in the Netherlands meets these new sustainability criteria. For the cases where this uncertainty applies a ‘.’ is displayed.

When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures on the gross final consumption of renewable energy in broad outlines for the previous year are published each year in May. Revised provisional figures for the previous year appear each year in June.

In December all figures on the consumption of renewable energy in the previous year will be published. These figures remain revised provisional, definite figures appear in December two years after the reporting year. Most important (expected) changes between revised provisional figures in December and definite figures a year later are the figures on solar photovoltaic energy. The figures on the share of total energy consumption in the Netherlands could also still be changed by the availability of adjusted figures on total energy consumption.

本表格呈现可再生能源的总最终能源消费量，数据以绝对数值形式展示，同时同步关联荷兰全国总能源消耗量。

可再生能源指源自风能、水能、太阳能、地热能、户外空气热能以及生物质能的能源，这类能源依托自然循环过程实现持续补充。

数据按能源来源/技术路径以及能源应用场景（电力、热力、交通运输）进行分类拆解。

本表格聚焦于符合《欧盟可再生能源指令》（EU Renewable Energy Directive）的可再生能源占比情况。根据该指令，成员国可通过从超额完成可再生能源消费目标的国家购入可再生能源，实施行政互认的统计转移。荷兰在2020年便通过从丹麦购入可再生能源完成了此类转移。本表格将该转移作为独立的能源来源/技术路径单独列出，并包含两类总量：包含统计转移的总量与不包含统计转移的总量。

数据可追溯至1990年。

数据状态说明：
本表格包含截至2020年（含2020年）的确定数据，2021年的数据为修订后的暂定数据。

2023年2月8日更新内容：
针对2021年电力电厂生物质混烧的相关数据已完成更新。经与负责保障电力及热力领域补贴性固体生物质可持续性的荷兰企业署（RVO）沟通确认，2021年混烧电厂所使用的固体生物质100%符合《欧盟可再生能源指令II》（RED II）规定的生物质可持续性标准。此次更新使得2021年混烧电厂生物质最终能源消费量较2022年12月的更新结果增加14拍焦（PJ），同时可再生能源占比提升0.7个百分点。注：RED II指2021年正式生效的《欧盟可再生能源指令》。

2022年12月15日更新内容：
新增2021年的修订暂定数据。2021年各类能源最终消费量的核算仅采用符合《欧盟可再生能源指令II》（RED II）标准的固体及气态生物质。2020年及更早年份的数据均依据《欧盟可再生能源指令I》（RED I）核算；根据欧盟统计局（Eurostat）的规定，此类数据将不再进行修改。本次更新可能与其他待更新表格存在数据不一致的情况。

2022年6月更新内容：
新增2021年的修订暂定数据。自2021报告年度起，《欧盟可再生能源指令II》（RED II）框架下将实施新的固体及气态生物质可持续性标准。目前暂无法确认荷兰境内消耗的所有生物质均符合该新标准，对于存在此类不确定性的条目，将以“.”进行标注。

新数据发布计划：
每年5月会发布上一年度可再生能源总最终消费量的大致暂定数据；每年6月会发布上一年度的修订暂定数据。
每年12月会发布上一年度可再生能源消费的全部数据，此类数据仍属于修订暂定数据；正式确定数据将在报告年度结束两年后的12月发布。修订暂定数据与正式确定数据之间最主要的预期调整项为太阳能光伏（solar photovoltaic）能源相关数据。荷兰全国总能源消费占比数据也可能因总能源消费调整数据的可用性发生变动。
