Natural gas balance sheet; supply and consumption

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 is broken down by how it's delivered by the gas distribution network. This consists of a main grid and connected regional grids. Large-scale consumers, like power plants and large companies, receive the gas directly from the main distribution network. Small-scale consumers, including households, receive their natural gas through the regional grids. Then 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 1946 annually and from 1982 annually, quarterly and monthly.

Status of the figures:
- up to and including 2022 definite.
- 2023 is revised provisional.
- 2024 is provisional.

Changes as of November 29th 2024:
Figures of October 2024 have been updated.

Changes as of November 15th 2024:
Figures for October 2024 have been added. This table has also been revised for 2015 to 2021 as a result of new methods that have also been applied for 2022 and 2023. This concerns the following components: final energy consumption of LPG and the natural gas consumption of the wood and wood products industry has also been improved so that it is more comparable over time. This concerns changes of a maximum of a few PJ.

Changes as of Oktober 31st 2024:
Figures for September 2024 have been updated.

Changes as of October 15th of 2024:
Figures of September 2024 have been added.

Changes as of September 4th 2024:
Figures of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are reported per country of origin starting from reporting year 2021. Figures of 2021 have been revised conform new methods.

Changes as of August 28th 2024:
Provisional figures for July 2024 have been updated.

When will new figures be published?
Provisional figures: half a month after the month under review.
Revised provisional figures: not later than in June of the year following the reporting year.
Definite figures: not later than December of the second following year.

本表展示了天然气供应与消费的资产负债表。天然气的供应量计算为国内生产总量、其他来源生产量之和，减去出口量，再减去用于国际航运（燃料油）的交付量，加上库存变动量。供应量等于荷兰在同一时期内使用的天然气量。消费量按其通过天然气配送网络的输送方式细分。该网络包括主干网和相连的区域网格。大型消费者，如发电厂和大型企业，直接从主干配送网络接收天然气。小型消费者，包括家庭，则通过区域网格接收他们的天然气。然后，一小部分天然气用于本土天然气生产和运输。最后，还有被燃烧和排放的天然气。

数据可用性：自1946年起每年提供，自1982年起提供年度、季度和月度数据。

数据状况：至2022年及之前的数据确定无误。
2023年的数据为修订后的预估值。
2024年的数据为预估值。

截至2024年11月29日的变化：2024年10月的数值已更新。
截至2024年11月15日的变化：2024年10月的数值已新增。由于采用了新的方法，本表自2015年至2021年的数据也进行了修订，涉及以下组件：液化石油气（LPG）的最终能源消耗以及木材和木材产品行业的天然气消费量，以实现时间上的可比性。这些变化的最大幅度为几百万焦耳。
截至2024年10月31日的变化：2024年9月的数值已更新。
截至2024年10月15日的变化：新增了2024年9月的数值。
截至2024年9月4日的变化：自2021年开始，液化天然气（LNG）的数值按来源国报告。2021年的数值已根据新方法进行了修订。
截至2024年8月28日的变化：2024年7月的预估值已更新。
何时发布新数据？
预估值：在审查月份过后半个月。
修订后的预估值：不迟于报告年度的下一年6月。
确定值：不迟于报告年度的下一年12月。
